It looks as if they are investigating a more hardcore M2 having seen one at a test track, mixing aerodynamics of the Vision GT and the Racing but identifiable as the M2 but far more muscular and brutal than the standard M2. It could be for racing purpose showcase but I like to Think of it as a potential rival to the Porsche Cayman GT4 and the first modern BMW "Batmobile" since the E9.

Haha you're messing with us now Scott.
That would be superb! The closer to the Vision GT the better, I'd pay a premium for that exact car, colour, everything. Not ashamed to say I'm too new skool (although on my 8th BMW ) that I had to look up the E9. This CSL version looked pretty amped!

I am fairly certain there is a term for your desired type that has unfortunately already bestowed the automotive world. Does the word/term "Spinner" sound vaguely familiar?

BMW just don't have anything to rival the GT4 and 911 GT models, they are totally capable of doing so. I am an ex-E46 M3 CSL owner and have been waiting for a while now. |

Good job on the render! So is the Carbon Fiber roof off the table for the M2? I wish we could know, it might determine if I buy one of these when my lease is up Summer 2016!

Still waiting to see what this thing will weigh in. If it's M3/M4 weight, then I'm not too sure if there's a point in getting a M2 instead of a M3/M4 aside from price.

I like the renders and am hopeful that the production car styling will live up to the expectations of everyone. I do wish that the renders would stop showing csl type wheels though. They are very much turn of the century. I'm even more hopeful that the actual production car doesn't include them.

As much as it pains me but I think I'll go for the M2, and then upgrade to the CSL/GTS version, will loose some money in the process but that's better than sit around and wait eternally like I'm doing now... |

Praying Bumper and front fenders direct fit on a m235i , not to be a fake m2 but the 2 series wheel fitment is pretty weak, In a few years I'd love to use Oem parts to gain the width up front and maybe figure out something for the rear!!

I know some of you may think this is a stupid pointless question, but just wondering with the use of CF roofs on a lot of the M cars lately, what are the odds of a sunroof option on the M2?

Got my fingers and toes crossed! I haven't been this excited about a car since, well, the E92M was revealed in 2007.
