There's to many $25-40k cars with enough power and much lighter that are as fast. If there's one thing BMW needs to do, it's add equipment as standard... When a few $16-17k cars have back up camera, advanced Bluetooth and navigation standard, and bmw charges $4000+ plus for this and basic stereo, you know bmws are still over priced.
Don't count on the M2 being faster than the 1M???
Where have you been past few months? The M235i with a LSD is already faster, and do you really think BMW will make a successor to the 1M slower than the original one? Come on man what are you thinking?
