Why do you think spy photographers are out snapping pics of vehicles ?
Why do you think that BMW spends so much time on their camo game ?
PS.. if you don't think that that there aren't also leaks.. maybe you've never purchased a Samsung phone or an Apple i device ... even those companies have leaks. Let alone White Houses .. 
I got in line for an M version of the 1 series with a group of my E30 M3 friends in 2008 or so. We simply ASSUMED an M car was coming... because they always did ! And then it didn't.
Well.. that's ok I had a lot of fun driving my E30 M3 !
Years later .. when Bimwads on this forum were lamenting the death of BMW M due to " dilution of the brand ". I was on M-power.com and got in on all the dirt before the 1M was announced. Then I became a part of the announcement. .. And now I own one. 
In 2013.. when the 2 series was announced .. I got in line for an M2... I passed up a chance at an HEA car in early 2016 once I saw the curb weight. 
.. I'm waiting for something a little hard core. I've been first at multiple dealers for awhile now. Based on what I am seeing from the letters CS.. I'm gonna keep on waiting.
Will BMW surprise and make an M2 GTS after soaking tons of wannabe M2 owners that had to have an S motor to validate their M car purchase  especially since there are no M mirrors out of the market by selling them an M2 CS?
If they do..  I'll be ready !! 
Until then .. I'm enjoying the hell out of my 1M! |
If the M4 GTS is anything to go by BMW can keep it. I think the CS will be the perfect balance between price, performance and practicality.
I don't think there are many on here that want the S motor, it's just the power increase that it brings, if they can get it out the N55 or B58 then let's have it. The mirrors are not essential either, does nothing for me.
I think alot of people would agree that weight saving, performance increase and suspension upgrade would make it an even better car than it already is.
If your just wanting a car that is made in Ltd numbers so you can say you have one then wait for the GTS, seems pointless though, as the current crop of GTS motors are shi*t!
