Of course you missed the point. Leave the M2 alone. No one needs an X2 or a four door M2. Those vehicles already exist in the BMW catalog.

:: Either I missed your point, or the point was not worth getting I love the M2, and will have one shortly. If they had a 4doorM2 in VERY similar proportions, i would probably buy two!! I despise all-wheel drive in a weekend car. I don't see an M2 4-door in the catalog. I guess I seriously missed the point.

Let's try simple word association. M4 is to M2 as M3 is to ??? Please fill in the ??? Because the point here is that an M2 sedan , an M2 Gran coupe in 2010s BMW vernacular is what BMW should have in the lineup. M3 Sedan competes with C SERIES ?? Competes with CLA ? |

Why exactly do we need four doors in such small cars. Frankly the CLA and S3 are ridiculous. Way too small to need those comedic rear doors. The M4 is too big for a coupe but the M2 is too small for a sedan.

Whenever people are seated in the back of my M2 the worst part seems to be getting in and out rather than the space back there. Would be nice in those situations to have two more doors. Obviously if I needed two more door I would have bought something else, but I do feel bad for people contorting to get in and out of the back seat. I imagine that is a smoother process in the R/S3. Honestly I think the loooooooooooooong doors on something like an e92 M3 looks more comedic than the small doors on the R/S3.

Why do m2 sales continue to 'surprise'. The 1m was a hit, the m2 was a hit. This is what the enthusiasts want. Wake the f up bmw

It generates funds for R&D for even better M-Cars down the road. As far as the M2, it's the most attainable M-Car, why wouldn't it be the top seller?

But that might pull buyers away from the higher profit M3.

Unfortunately BMW sold out with the 3 series. Originally it was the two door car. The 5 was 4 door and so on.
The 3 series should have never been offered in 4 doors. As soon as BMW started this then it has all been downhill. |

some people dont want coupes and the convenience of having a rear door is huge if you plan to throw stuff on the back seat or move passengers around occasionaly?

Chances are it's because an M2 sedan would have been way to close to the M3 and would have stolen sales from it. Just like how there is no 2 serie Gran Coupe of this generation. And the supposed upcoming 2 series Gran Coupe is a FWD/AWD car.
