B-street is correct.

For ST, the M2 should go into STU as part of the "catch-all" provision of that class, but per the classing rules would be ineligible for National Tours or Championships:
Sedans & Coupes NOC (nonsports-car-based; 4-seat
minimum; over 5.1L normally aspirated or 2.0L to 3.1L
forced induction)
Most pertinent restriction in STU is max 11" wide wheel and 285-section tires.


As for SP, the M2 is not specifically classed yet that I've seen (not in the 2017 rulebook and not in any Fastracks this year AFAIK). SSP has a catch-all rule for "sports cars over 2.0L not otherwise classified", but I don't think the M2 would fit with the rulebook definition of "sports car." Again, a letter to the SEB would be appropriate to clarify. Since the M235i is specifically classed in ASP, I very much doubt that the M2 would end up anywhere south of that. Keep in mind that the current-gen M3/4 are not specifically classed in SP right now either.

Classing in Street Modified (SM) is clearly OK.

The regular Prepared and Modified classes are a whole 'nother thing entirely. I won't even begin to talk about those. That's just crazy
