I sure hope they don't treat the M2 as the "entry level" M car.

I am not interested in the M2 because (some people think) it will be cheaper. I want the M2 because it's smaller and lighter, which *should* translate into better performance/responsiveness. And I don't need a big car, seeing more 4-series on the road lately and WOW they look so much wider... I do not "aspire" to buy an M4 or M5. I could afford those cars right now, but I don't want them, they are too big. If the M2 outperforms the M3/4 then I don't even mind if it costs more than an M4...

I bought my 135i because it was the right mix of size and performance, not because it was the "entry level" BMW. I don't care if my next car is a BMW or not. If they deliver on the performance, it will be. If they intentionally hobble the car so as not to upstage it's larger kin then I probably won't want one.

Also, could we start a list of things we definitely don't want on the M2? I'll start;

no Active Sound.
