What do you guys think about this.

1M Coupe.

parts bin car!

Engine from Z4 3.5is
Gearbox 6 speed from 135i
Rear diff m3 e90/e92
rear subframe also from m3

Bmw M2

Same story.

Everything is comming from other models in production.

M2C

Same story again.

The M2 only exits because it wil always be a parts bin car.

No lets talk about new M2 in 2022 or so.

There is no manual gearbox available evey bmw has an automatic.
There will not be a DCT only made for the M2. DCT box is also very expensive. New M3 will get ZF8 HPX box which means awd to rwd option.

Engine could be B58 or maybe detuned S58. Pricewise the B58 is the best option.

How about the body. 1M coupe was made from a smaller base the e87 1 series. The m2 has been made from the 1 series f21 base

New 1 series is fwd platform and build m2 from it will not happen i quess. Maybe it will be build from the z4 platform.

Were will the new m2 be build from? This car wil not be sold in such big numbers if you compare to the m3 and m4.

Will the new m2 get it s own platform? The 1m coupe and m2 was build as a parts bin car.from other platforms and parts. What will be the base for the new M2?

Z4 base would not be a bad idea. Smaller wheel base more agile car.
