I would buy that red M2 in a second if they produce it. That looks amazing.

The M2 is so much of an unknown now. It has to sit somewhere between the 322 HP of the M235i and the 420+ (I can't remember the right number0 of the upcoming M3/M4. I suppose it is possible to squeeze around 370 horses out of a well pressurized two liter 4 pot, build the rest of the car light with carbon fiber and and aluminum body parts and wind up with something really interesting. Then again, it might have a 6.
This is the same story repeated for M2. I think from 2008 to 2010 the common consensus is no M variants of 1. People make up justifications why 1M can not be, one is the name M1 is taken, two it is going to step on M3's toes, three no enough production years left in the generation.

BMW will hold off on news of M2 until all buyers who are willing to settle for a M235i buy one then they are going to let the news loose. Then who those 2er owners who really want a M they would upgrade anyways, making it a double purchase for BMW.

I regret not waiting for the 1M. This time around I am just going to wait it out because I'm certain M2 is coming. If not I can always jump into a cayman

These yes and nos about the M2 are all speculation. No one knows. Here is as much as Joe Public know from ///M division:

http://blog.caranddriver.com/bmw-m-c...upe-successor/

So those saying there will be an M2, you don't know that but it would seem there is an appetite for one.

For those saying there won't be an M2, again you can only say there ISN'T an M2 not there won't be one.

Sadly we'll just have to wait and see


Finally someone with some sense. There is no positive confirmation or denial of an M2 at the moment, although Nitschke definitely gives us hope that it could happen.

Constantly arguing about whether or not it's coming is pointless.
Cheers

Personally I hope they do make one and I really like the imagination in the renderings

The e30 m3 had 4 cylinders. Evos and stis are pretty damn fast and they start lagging at around 120.

I just want blistering speed up to 120-130 and it can slow down as much as it wants after. Most tracks around here thats all you need.

I have seen some early preliminary sketches although not respondent of what the car will look like but the creativity behind the visual aspects is underway.
Engineering has already commenced.

But I must repeat there will be an M2 but it is not coming tomorrow.
For now this is the M235i's moment. The gap in both cars between will allow appetites to be whet and new ideas to be conceived and thoroughly evaluated.

The gap will also allow the new M3 and M4 breathing space.

That's awesome, hopefully it will be released in 4-5 years when i'm ready for a new car. Lets hope they bring back Imola Red so i can have the E46 i was never able to.

That aligns with your previous statements of an M2 reveal by the end of 2015 and deliveries sometime in 2016...

It sucks to wait for so long..

Quite frankly there's no reason for bmw not to build this car, it will only mean more excitement for the brand and more market share... not to mention insane margins because it won't cost much more to build a 55-60k M2 than it will to produce a 33l 228i. All the parts are there, just have to put them together. If they can make a case for the 335xi GT and the x4, which are clearly both niche cars, there is absolutely no way they can't make the same case for the M2. Just the same way the 335is and M3 coexisted.

Scott,

What is your opinion on the following possible features of an M2?
  • EPS vs. Hydraulic Steering
  • S55 motor?
  • Carbon Fiber Roof/Hood/Trunk/other bits?
  • Manual Transmission & MDCT
  • Weight estimates? 3,100lb? (sub 3,000lb?)
  • ZCP package?
  • Cloth seat option?
  • GTS, CSL or other limited/special editions?


It would be really cool if BMW engineers built an M2 with features requested by BMW enthusiasts. Whatever the group BMW M GmbH does for the M2 I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. Can't wait!

also would be great if they offered a "barebones" package,

-manual transmission
-few bells and whistles
-lightweight interior

just a few ideas to keep it lightweight and inexpensive
