Me too...
I did not mean that in the sense of price. If the M2 is just smaller than an M4 and has less space, has a less sophisticated engine (N55 vs. S55) though I6, has most options but no HUD for example, it does sound like a "cheap" M4, and thus a poor man's M4. What I wish the M2 to be is something different than the M4, with focus on sportiness, something hard-core, and just an inferior M4.

If the M2 is more hard-core than the M4, will less useless options (HUD, electric heated seats, etc.), M4 won't lose customers.

Surely //M is about big and heavy expensive straighline speed vehicles the last decade.
Nothing M about them, but at least they still have more R&D into them than an M235i which in fact is nothing than a 235i with M body kit, suspension, wheels and some more badges.
