M2, where have you gone?
It seemed like there was a steady stream of leaks and updates on the M2 at the start of the year. Now, nothing...
Is this because BMW wants the focus to be on the M3/4? I need some additional M2 details! |

The car is still a ways off. Expect droughts of information along the way.

I feel like an addict cause I check in daily to find new information and like the OP has said nothing. :

I have test driven an M4 DCT. The engine is fantastic really really awesome. But the first i noticed when driving away it has no nimbleness like the 1M Coupe. The M4 does not feel like it is 1500kg. It s in my eyes closer in feel to an M5/M6 then an 1M coupe. When i first drove a 1M coupe i was convinced to buy one instantly. The M4 has not convinced me so fast. Is it worth to buy alone for the engine? For me no. I rather have an agile car. My quess is that the wheelbase of the M4 kills of all the fun which i am looking for in a car. The perfect companion for an 1M coupe is an M3. I really see no point at all to use an M4 as a trackday car in my case. To use a 4 door M3 as a daily drive oh yess!!! It s much more fun then an M5 for sure. I just have to wait for an M2 then. All i hope for is that bmw keeps the wheelbase as short as possible and make it lighter then the 1M coupe. The long wait begins but after driving the M4 i know now you just don t get bored driving the 1M coupe. What a Car it is. Last edited by Advevo; 07-08-2014 at 11:28 AM.. |

Interesting comments Advevo, the wait for the M2 is killing me so I had turned my attention back to the M3 / 4, but after hearing your impression of the M4 its confirmed my suspicion.
I still intend to test an M3, IMO the M3 looks tougher and with better proportions, but its the M2 we all wait for. |

M2 has gone to work out and shed some pounds. With the launch some 18 months away I wouldn't expect even monthly updates just timely releases and prototype spies. So far we've seen a Ring test mule and then the quad exhaust test mule. Lots still to do and the endless fine tuning.

I really hope the M2 gets the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Roof. The 1M didn't get it so uncertain if they will put it on the M2. Even though the weight savings is not a whole lot we need to get all the savings we can get.

18 months???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I thought it would be released late summer of 2015 as a 2016 model.
Like some of you guys, I had my heart set on an M4. For the most part I love the M4 (and M3) but I cant get past the physical size of the car... it's just too big. I already have a car that I think is too big (my F30) so why would I replace it with a car that is equally as long but wider??? I love the reviews of the M235i and every time I read another one, I lust for the M2. I just hope I can wait 18 months or more. My lease is up in 15 months... |

If they make this car as good as it can be (not necessarily talking about outright power, but more weight savings), it would be hard for me to resist because even with camo, it already looks amazing.

And now, Dodge has the new Challenger Hellcat with 707 HP! That's 67BHP more than the V10 Viper and, it cost $40,000 LESS than the Viper. I agree with you that it's not likely that the M2 will be quicker than the M4, but now, it's not without precedent. |
