The 100th anniversary is technically for the motorcycle/aircraft engine manufacturing. Maybe we'll get a flying motorcycle for 2016!

Compiling some info:
The final version of the M2 base version will not be presented before the M4 GTS (likely we get to see some M2 teasers in the forthcoming weeks/months): Quote:

They don't want people to hold off on their M4 and M3 orders as the M2 concept may make many, many potential M4 and M3 buyers wait until they can test the M2 as it will be cheaper. We've already seen to non young crowd start ditching for the M3 already right here on the forum due to impatience. That is what BMW wants. That is my thought. The positioning of this car in the BMW lineup is very tricky, and it's obvious that BMW is already doing a bunch of things to put it in a very specific niche, i.e. no S engine, no CF roof, 4 colors, one interior. It will be a very special car, but they are making it 'take it or leave it' for a reason. That's my gut feeling.

I read it as he says that the next M after the X5M/6M is the M2 and then it will be some time before a completely new M is released (the M5) but during that time the M4 GTS is revealed. |

But, then again, all cars of all makes and models have gotten bigger due to more electronics, bigger engines, more safety features, bigger wheels and brakes, more amenities. |

There are a lot of great cars out right now. Back when you had the e30, 46, and 9x, the M's offered solid performance gap. Recent competion is currently narrowing that gap. |
