I am not impressed, nor I am faithful that BMW will make the M2 a quintessential car. It will be pure marketing.. as we have not seen any M2's with CF bits.. which is a must for anyone paying BMW M's premium.


Secondly, BMW better think long & hard of all the people in waiting for this M2... which are MANY. I am pounding on my 135is in hopes of ordering a M2.. but zero CF, or other quint stuff, then I will easily flip my cash towards Fords and get
that GT350 for the same price.

Not as uppity, but I know that won't have BMW nannies, & will have way more potential on the track...
Dude, give up your Mustang BS. If your going to quote weights try the v8 Mustang that gained over 80 lbs and is well over 3700 lbs now. Gas mileage was released on some websites today and the mighty V8 gets 15 and the others may have got worse than the 2014 and are no match for a 228 at 5.0 seconds 0-60 in many tests from car sites. Please get your Ford, I will chip in since you can't afford a real car.
