It only needs to have the seat from the standard M3/M4 to be a massive improvement.

The M4 GTS has the same engine as the M4?

If the base M2 gets the S55(which im guessing very likely) it will crater the resale of the current M2. If you worry about that kind of thing

No it won't, simply because BMW would want to keep price about the same for the standard model.

This is again the model year vs calendar year confusion:
- M2 LCI is MY2018, coming in calendar year 2017.
- M2 CS is MY2019, coming in calendar year 2018.

Note that Europe operates on calendar years (most recent example: G30 5 series is listed as "5er (2016)" on bmw.de), and therefore a lot of news articles originating in Europe also use calendar years when talking about future cars. US readers need to pay attention to this and adjust +1 where necessary.

Another BSM masterpiece pictured there. I guess people are scared about the upkeep. Good, more exclusivity for me.

Has that ever happened before a "M" Variant with a different engine being produced at the same time

CS is a tough one = I want!!

Collecting my M2 this weekend. As a DD I think the current M2 will be just fine.

If I was able to own the M2 as a second car the CS would be the one I'd buy, even if it is M4-GTS money. I'd want it stripped out, no rear seats, no unnecessary tech, coilovers, ect. an S55 with plenty of room to tune. Oh and I want it Valencia Orange or Java Green

I think this car was in a YouTube test against the M240i recently!

Hey if you want them, get them... looks good on the black. Just avoid M stripes on the grill

So it would be roughly 2 years before we can get into a CS. Do you know the general timeline when we would know more about body, aero and some more specifics. Trying to see if the body will get any major change (wider, lighter etc. etc.)

There you go BMW! A real M2 finally.

Have you driven a M2?

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe that someone who has actually driven the car could make this comment.

The current M2 is a great car and far more fun to drive than a M4. The announcement of a M2 CS does not make the base M2 any less fun to drive. This fun to drive aspect is at the core of what truly makes a M car, IMHO.

It's easy to get caught up in having the latest and greatest, but let's be realistic most forum posters never actually buy anything. The average user just wants to post and say that they would buy ______ if it weren't for ______ or ______.

There are people on this forum who honestly think we believe that they would have purchased a M2 if not for the mirrors.

You'd need to watch for spy shots and controlled BMW PR leaks (like our friend Scotty) for that.

Anyone want an AW M4 GTS? Not yet delivered, haha

Anyway, I would get a year old CPO 911. Let someone else take the depreciation hit. Since I'm already taking it on the M2, I might just gift it to my dad in a year or two. He wouldn't spend that kind of money on himself and it's perfect for him.

There is a plain white 911R with a black gut for sale in Conn. for the bargain price of $599k.

[GimmeanM]

I'm in if it's <$80K USD and limited production. Giddy with excitement!!!

Hoping for:
Carbon Ceramic brakes
CF Roof
Manual Transmission
Wider fenders with wider rubber
