Yes if BMW 2 series will be in future on new front driven platform as next BMW 1 series will be. BMW M2 will then be somthing like A45 AMG from Mercedes. For sure without 6 zyl inline engine in this case.

Probably if the M5 does well. I think there already is an M240i xDrive... so the M2 doesn't seem too much of a stretch to me.

Are they doing an AWD M5? I have heard rumors.....the M550ix looks sweet!

I think M car's need to be Rear Wheel drive or they begin to loose their uniqueness. Now Audi has been AWD for years in most of their cars so it makes sense the the S cars are simply the top model in each group with the occasional RS car's topping those, but still AWD.

The M car's have been more than just the top model in each series.......

Yes, I think they need to. I don't want them too but I think they need to,especially in the UK and some European areas. The power is becoming to much to enjoy all the time, when it rains or its damp you can't use half the power.

Yes, I think people want x drive and I think it will happen. Any more power and I would sign up for xdrive

The next M5 has AWD but driver can put it into a mode where it's 100% power to rear wheels.

Having something you can switch between AWD and RWD actually sounds pretty cool.

The M2 will end production once the 2 series changes over to the FWD platform (2019/20 will be last year of production). Chances are it won't come back after that.

That clinches it. I am putting a deposit on an AWD M5.....

Sweet.....I'll trade the M2.

Hope I can get it in Daytona Grey!

I sense some sarcasm here, but I always thought the 5 series was the best all around car that BMW ever produced, including the wagons. The E28 535is was the best car I ever owned hands down when you look at performance, practicality, and comfort. Hell, the thing cost nearly $40K back in 1987. The M5 version was another level and may be the best they ever produced?

By that logic, the next M2 would be front wheel drive, not 4WD. It's a lot easier to turn a front engined RWD car in to 4WD car, than a front engined FWD car in to a 4WD car.

Anyway, as above, the next 2-series is going to be RWD and I doubt BMW will go 4WD. Not until they go DCT only. Oh, wait!
