Gross.
If the new M2 stays the same weight or gets a little lighter, I'd be ok with a beefed up B58. BMW needs an M car that isn't all about straight line acceleration competing with Camaros. It would be nice if the M2 stayed as their still fast, but less powered, more handling focused M car in the lineup.
