Delays in production are normal. Better issues be fixed before it leaves assembly line.
Which is more pleasant? Waiting for parts and warranty work, or waiting on your couch? |

Heard today that the car won't officially go into production until 2016....

Let me explain that "random post". I'm in in the research for infos to the topic "BMW M2" since the M235i has been presented in spring 2014. I try to get every info I can get, filter these infos and make the infos, which I think could matter, public. Thats the reason why I made the BMW M2 page on facebook. To inform the guys, who want this ******** car so badly (like Artemis and Adem do this in this forum). And at the moment every piece of (negative) info fits together (when watching on the latest infos/rumours): Production date isn't set anymore for NOV 15 in the systems, at the same time a well known member of the m-forum is posting that release footage will be made in spring 16 (and he didn't know that the date for production was deleted in the system) and today another member of the m-forum said that in history BMW has never presented a car study (especially M) at the IAA. ... we have to wait and see what happens but its not looking too good that the M2 will be presented in the next month ... |

I'd prefer to not have to deal with snow in Germany etc., so the later in spring the better.
Hoping to get an M2 with European Delivery.

If particular info is leaked that BMW definitely does not want to be leaked, BMW may decide to track/trace the source of the leak. Two examples:

So if it comes out sooner, they won't produce any in the late spring?

We've gotten so much misinformation for the past year that I'm done trying to speculate on these things. I'm just not worried about this car anymore. As badly as I want to see it, it'll show up when it shows up. At least we've got other cars to enjoy so it's not like I absolutely need it by a certain date.

My theory is that BMW has needed to do more development on the engine in order to up the bhp given the power war with Audi, Merc and even VW. They were in danger of launching a slightly under powered car relative to the competition ? I think production start early 2016 now. Nothing to back this up but it has been too quiet from Scott and co

Who knows. If the car needs a bit more development time, so be it.
And a delay before the announcement is better than a delay after the announcement (*cough*Audi S3*cough*). |

Lets face it many M3/M4 (not all mind you) are bought with all the luxurious options the M3/M4 offer. HUD, full leather dash, etc. If you go on the M4 section 90% of the people pick these options. So if BMW makes a pretty standard M2 interior wise as just offering navigation and manual only than the people who originally wanted the M4 will still buy an M4 regardless of the M2 being faster or as fast as the M4 IMO. That's why if the M2 CSL ever comes out I will need to get that car as this kind of car targets what I am looking for in a car. I for one do not care about having a leather dash, radar cruise, HUD, etc. I just want a drivers car that handles very very well with no fluff to distract the driver.

Besides, if there was a power war, then the car that shouldn't join the fight would be the M2. I'd much prefer all out balance, which IMO the M2 should have over its competitors.

Just like the M2 CSL rumor, I'm not sure I buy this one either. Guess we'll find out soon enough |
