While I agree with you in theory, how do you know? For him to say he's not sure the M2 will bring enough difference to warrant buying it over the M235i is a totally valid statement. His is more true than yours since his is speculative over the known and the unknowns and yours is definitive over simply unknowns. Not everyone wanted the 35i variant over the 28i of the 2 series, 3 series, or any other series, just the same as many didn't find the need to go to an M over a X 35i. I think it'll still stand with this as with every other generation before it (except for maybe the current 6 series) that the M car will always appeal more to the enthusiast. But to some, the extra power and focused nature of the car, along with perhaps some reduced sound dampening and lack of options will totally not warrant the added expense. This car is totally different from the typical M experience. And with that it is certainly not for everyone, enthusiast or not.
