Hopefully by this summer we can have SOME solid details or at least a timeline of development. I really hope this comes earlier than 2017. As mentioned in another thread, hopefully as a 2016 model introduced at the end of 2015. Fingers crossed.

I am very excited about this! So glad it is going to have the N55.

i don't think it will have a base close to $60k. The M3 starts at $62k so there has to be plenty of room between the 2 models. I'm thinking $53k base (M235i has a $44k base, right).
The 1M MSRP was $2865 more than the 135is. I believe that the M2 will start somewhere near the same amount above the M235 plus an additional bump for extra development costs. Quite possible for the M2 to base at approximately $50K. A longer list of options will help BMW make a greater margin.
