It's your attitude, and your assumption that anyone who buys an M4 is a "douchebag" if the M2 is as quick, that guarantees BMW will never make the M2 as quick.
You ignore comfort, space, practicality, high speed cruising, etc. You focus exclusively on one area, judge anyone else who doesn't, and in doing so screw it up for the rest of us. Your thinking is why Porsche makes record profits adding 10 hp at a time with software programming and charging thousands for it, when in reality it'd be cheaper and easier to simply fit everything with the bigger 3.8S motor. Your thinking is why we'll get a "watered down" M2, when fitting the M3/4 motor would be easy. Your focus on performance numbers is one of the reasons we've lots a manual transmission option on Porsche GT cars, and will soon lose the option on BMWs as well.
There is plenty of room for all types of great sports cars and GT cars, each focused on doing different things well, to coexist. If we let them.

Wow! So everything is the fault of an anonymous poster on a car forum?
It would be more the fault of those not buying the cars they are demanding or those buying cars that should not have come out that way from factory.
