I was hoping for Tanzanite Blue or Donnington Gray, but Mineral Gray is not a bad option. But what I want to know is if they are going to come out with other choices later on in production.
As far as the numbers I think that ///M is spot on. The horsepower/torque is not going to be as important as the actual feel of the car. Plus we all know that BMW underrates their power figures. If this is a deterrent for those window shoppers, great, more cars for us serious buyers.

everyone has different views which is great. For me I wasn't sure if I would ever goto anything smaller then a M3 then the new 2 series came out and I was impressed. I currently have a M4 but the M2 specs that are coming out look very appealing. Will I leave my M4 for a M2, maybe who knows. The 435 is a great vehicle and more then enough car then one would need but the M4 is def another level. With that in mind I'm sure M will do the same with M2 vs 235.

They cannot include too much carbon as it won't fit the product line. I think it will weigh the same as the m235i but have the additional power and chassis refinement. |

OP, thank you for the update.
We can speculate on why this car will be a winner or a loser, and folks can complain all day. The safety, the cooling, the drivetrain demands and the design limitations would cause this car to spiral in price like the M3 GTS did in recent years if the car rivals the M4 performance. BMW makes it clear, this car is below the M4 and above a M235i. It will please certain folk between those two cars, who can afford a car in between. Period. Perhaps the reduced weight and shorter wheelbase, along with a wide track and a mechanical locking diff will make the M2 shine on a very short track. And if so, the M2 will become an instant autocross fantasy car! This is what I think BMW is trying to do with the M2. Stripped I would expect 55k, and loaded $65k USD OTD. Again, not for everyone, but for someone who is single, drives to the track and is not rich. This car will have a following. |

M2 will look great on any color (better in orange), BUT, my tuned M235i will eat a stock M2 with those factory specs.... I really expected to have at least 400HP stock, not a fan of those numbers

Bmw is really letting me down with no red option. All my old Ms (except my Jerez) all have been red. I feel like that's the best color for all past generations of M models.

I want Imola Red or Melbourne Red at the very least. Zinno would be a cool comeback. Not Brilliant or Vermillion though. |

BTW... have these colors been rendered?
I remember some a while back but hasn't the car revealed more lately and dropped camp? Any updated renders? |

I hope that they keep the price in check. For low $50s, it is an enticing proposition to enter into the M pantheon, but anymore then $55K, I'd rather be looking at an ED, lightly optioned, M3.

I realize it's been "known" for a long time, but the lack of a unique or at least "M-unique" engine is really frustrating. I can deal with the weight if the engine is truly special. I can also deal with a "normal" engine a little more readily if there are significant weight savings included like I expect we'll see by 2020 or so in the form of CFRP or CF/Al body structures in mainstream BMWs.
I really feel we're on the verge of having a much better 2 series in a few years. I believe we are on the edge of the cliff in terms of this dated, heavy, all-metal design for cars and in a few years we will see a whole new ballgame. BMW does now have the largest CF production facility in the world after all... and it is confirmed that the 7 series will be getting significant carbon use in the chassis design. It's only a matter of time before the tech is integrated into every vehicle in the BMW line. This also means we're probably nearly at the end of the hp war. With lighter vehicles, we will not need the same horsepower to achieve the same performance we are getting now. Imagine a 2900 lb M2 with any engine a few years from now. That's the one I really want. Of course, the option for a manual transmission will probably be gone at that point and that will be the end of BMW for me. I'll never buy another new car when it comes to that (except maybe for my future wife ) ANYWAY, I too find the color choices quite drab and think the power increase over an M235i is fairly lame as well. This feels like a marketing car rather than what an M is supposed to be. I know the M3/4 are big and heavy, but they still feel very M-like to me. They're special the way the E39 M5 was special. They're the new M5 and we need a new M3. I don't think the M2 is that car. Sorry for the rambling, but I do feel a little let down. However, I suspect I'd quite like it if I drove one and I'd probably be damned close to buying one if I did. Noone else offers a manual trans, RWD, refined package quite like BMW does. It seems like a safe bet to wait it out for the next generation 2 though if you can muster the patience. Then again, I'm not too interested in a four cylinder M as I already have one of those! The aural bliss that is a BMW I6 is something I must have. OK, I'm done. I swear! |

Can't go wrong with white. Numbers look good but let's see what it weights in at.
