IMO, give it a proper M engine or just play with the turbo/boost and be done with it..

I'd still love to have one, but I'm feeling underwhelmed by it. I still think that if BMW introduced a widebody 235 as the m2 initially with just a regular 235 like the 228, it would've gotten similar praise as this
You cant be serious? The S55 sounds horrible and is very raspy/farty lol. You really believe that something as important as pistons to an engine are a fluke? They are most likely forged and lighter weight reducing internal rotational mass. You also ignore all the suspension changes that were made, the DCT, m3/4 axles, chassis strengthening, Active M differential etc.
