Spring 2018 model upgrade news ?

Can we expect to hear some M2 Competition/CS news in the next 2-3 weeks?

I would expect BMW to issue their customary annual press release regarding model upgrade measures for Spring this year as they have done for the last few years.

2013 - 14th January
2014 - 22nd January
2015 - 14th January
2016 - 14th January
2017 - 16th January

What do we think?

M2 Competition will be lauched on April with 410 PS and 500 Nm from a detuned S55 engine. To be ordered from summer.
I've read the news from a site which cited BMW Blog.
Singapore Grey and Sunset Orange are the new colours available.

Singapore this and Sunset that... I'm sure they're delightful. But the M2 deserves (needs!) Individual Paint. I'm first in line for a 6MT M2 if BMW gives the thumbs up on Imola or Dakar.

It sounds like you WANT individual paint.

The M2 doesn't NEED anything.

Getting individual paint on a production car that's made in Leipzig is a non starter. The answer to this question has been a firm NO since 2010.

Imola and Dakar are additional wet dreams.

BMW has produced the 2 series in Melbourne red , but has not put this color on the M2.

BMW has not dared to put a color like yellow on Any 1 or 2 series model. The 1 series got Valencia orange and sunset seems to be the same treatment for the 2 series.

Is Austin yellow still available for the M3 or M4? If so I believe that's the only model one can order in yellow from BMW right now ? Oh wait .. how about the new X2 ?

Never thought about it, but Dakar would look pretty crazy.

I actually love that M2 is so basic. 4 colors. Basic interior.

What I want to know.....specs on engine and if there are any changes to suspension.

I have been thinking of doing a Dakar yellow wrap since before I even received the car. Now that I have it, I don't really give it away to an wrapper
