This should be of no surprise to anyone. The 1M was also produced in batches during the production of the regular line models.
From a manufacturing perspective, Just like the 1M was mated with rear subframe/suspension from the M3 on the M2, the usage of the M3/M4 subframe assemblies will require additional time to install , and of course those assemblies also have to be brought in as batches as they will be produced offsite.
It sounds like the M2 will be produced in short batches , likely produced regionally , and will surely be less available than the M3/M4. |
It will definitely be interesting to see how many production slots the dealers in the US and Canada get for 2016 and 2017.
