Bmw sandwiching the M2 is sensible because it allows time to usher in something new, and allowing something like a performance version of a Mini platform in between. Kind of like a nice transition or pass.

7 years of the existing 2 series sounds about right. We aren't talking about 1990 500SL, NSX type category where we have 10+ years of plopping them out of the factory.
Not sure I understand? The E36 M3 was built from 1995 to 1999
