It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. An M car should have it's space. IMO there should never be any sub model in the same series that matches any aspect of its M counterparts performance. I still like the M2, hell I love it and that's why I want one. I just don't think BMW will do anything to move the car up in performance anytime soon. If that stance makes me a curmudgeon then so be it.

i gotcha.. as far as the performance matching... I do think that is a bit of a thing of the past. With turbo motors, it's hard to keep that separation that you are wanting.. or... at the least.. I think the separation still is there via BMW underrating the M cars more so than the non M cars.

I agree.. I don't anticipate many performance adjustments, color modifications or additional options packages to sprout up for this vehicle.



I was able to search and find it... thanks to @G8rGrl !! Here is the poll!
