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.

Here's the thing: I am not saying that the M2 is enough to warrant the price difference for everyone. I agree that there are many people that the M240i will return more for the price. However, it is a fact that the M2 is going through a long development process... it is not an M235i with bolt on pieces. That's a fact. We already know that.
I never said that the M2 will be the better buy for everyone... I may have not been clear enough. Understand what I'm saying now?
