Look, the M2 is a reduced sized M4 with a less luxurious interior, meant for entry level customers. That's about it. Lots of tough competition out there for the M2. As evidenced by the fact it could not achieve the Car & Driver Editors Choice Award in its class.
I agree with the poster who implied BMW needs to step up their game, particularly in the design area. They need something they can point to as a halo car and which helps separate BMW from the pack. I expect they are going to resurrect the CSL badge to achieve that goal. Given its current purpose for existence, I just don't see the M2, in any form, as suitable for that role.
And which luxury brand has a small rear wheel drive car while also offering it in manual?
