There will be an M2.
It's just not coming tomorrow...
Can you tell us whether we should anticipate a 4 or a 6 cylinder engine? My vote is for a 6!

Don't think you can buy just the frame.... I know the F10 has some all black ones available for $74 a piece but it's the whole kidney grill

Maybe just some Home Depot spray paint :-D

If we look at this LOGICALLY it could perhaps be a Four Cylinder. Such an engine is under development but would the LOGICAL choice be since this will be the entry M car?
They have started to make initial ideas practical but we are still a long way away.

I'd be impressed if BMW came up with a 4-cylinder FI engine that puts out more power than what's in the CLA 45 AMG. Maybe if it was a 2.5 L 4-cylinder.

Can anyone do Mineral Gray - w/ Black M-performance hood stripes - 18 wheels?

Combo I'm thinking of if it works with the stripes.

that's just nuts

I remember the outgoing e92 M3 started at 60k and add a couple of options and it was in the high 60's


definitely thinking about my 1st euro delivery

most late BMW engines are 0.5L per cylinder... 1.5L 2.0L 3.0L it would be weird unless they go I5 2.5L

I was leaning toward AW or Red, but, I love the way this looks, in a picture, I'll have to go to a dealer and check out the color in person.

Nice work Dr F F ➜ ➜

In Person

Saw a red M235i today on the Garden State Parkway in NJ getting off the exit to go to the headquarters. Only things masked were the roundel and the model number.

But sorry guys, didn't get my phone out fast enough. All I can say is that it looks better in person. Slightly smaller than my E46.

Also for the M2 naysayers. This was in the November 2013 R&T or C&D:

all black 2-er looks dope, just as expected though!

personally i'm leaning towards the "Anniversary Evo" wheels by Hamann, they're like the best multi spoke design i ever saw. F20 already has them in 19".

by the way, there are lots of dope pictures in the thread lately.

wow a dealership was probably getting a showcase. might wanna contact my local dealers to see if they will get any models in. I did the same thing with the 4 series. Was able to see it in July before its launch

yeah I have to say, it made my commute more enjoyable. Btw the rear looks much better in person. The only things that I don't like about the car will probably be cleared up with the M2 (electric steering/variable steering). Would also be nice to get the car without idrive. CSL?

M2 ?

Wonder how long we will have to wait to find out officially if an M2 will come to fruition. Seems the M235 fills a nice niche but leaves 50hp and wide body work on the table for an M2.........better start saving now

I completely agree that an M2 should have a 4 cylinder with nearly 350hp, being lighter would fit the bill and give a slight perf advantage over the M235. With Merc building an IMPRESSIVE 4 banger, seems BMW should answer that with something other than a 240hp 4 puck. Lighter is better
