LOVE the M2...But I'll let year 1 production roll, finish my M235 lease and then re-evaulate. Will be great reading all the reviews in the interim. I will be torn between M2 and M3 with its 4 doors.

I don't know how you got that residual so high but that makes up big time for the slight markup in the money factor. Great deal! ----------------- Edited ----------------- Wait a minute I didnt minus your MSD. So that doesnt make sense if your money factor is 0.00159 - 7 MSD that would bring your interest rate to 2.65% which would put your payment at $634.84 +tax My bad...

WAY better than the leaks. The front fascia is much better proportioned (looks as if the renders were stretched vertically). I'm sure it will look better in person though. Excited to read some reviews!

Now that we've seen it, and know the price (more or less) I'm really torn:
1.) BMW M2 (with ED) 2.) Mustang GT350 3.) BMW 328d (with ED) I have a 2014 335i M-Sport now and I don't know what to do!

The M2 GC with 4 doors would be my next car. If no GC in a few years, I'd acquiesce with the coupe version.

Toss out the 328d unless you need the space. If you lease then probably the M2. I doubt the GT350 will lease well. If you track regularly then the GT350 will probably be quicker. Certainly if you get the track package. If you have never done ED I would highly recommend it. It is the balls. |

I'm also sold on the design.The more I look at these production pics,the more excited I get about the M2.Definitely ready to put my order in as soon as my dealer gets the ordering info.
Did you watch the live event at 6:00 tonight?IMO the M2 looks fantastic in Long Beach Blue,really suits the design of the car. |

I like it but don't love it. Looks good for the most part and spec's are fine. No CF and seats I don't like. Still not sure how I feel about the engine.

I like it. It looks really nice in Long Beach Blue (much, much better than Yas Marina imho) and if the rumors about the $50-60k price range are true, it feels like really good value (15-20k under a decently specced M3/4). I don't get some of the complaints. Were some people seriously delusional enough to think that BMW could afford to include all the Carbon Fiber and Aluminium weight saving bits, a S55 engine and all the interior equipment that you get on a M3/4 for $20k less? That's hilarious.
Imo the only way to meet that price target and make the car materially lighter without sacrificing daily usability would have been to replace the N55 with a S version of the N20. You should be able to make ~350 hp and save around 100lbs in the front in engine, cooling and drivetrain components. This will almost certainly happen the next time. |

Well done BMW
From a 1M owner, i would say yes it Looks good i like it ! Definitely meaner from the front.
Not reeaaaaallly happy with the X6M rear touch, but also wont judge now as well. I feel the 1M looks meaner from behind compared to this. And those flared fenders? I might need to see them in real life as well, but they are pronounced yes. I think best to compare it next to an M235i 8/10 !

The good news. The gas mileage on this thing is pretty good.
From the Euro Spec sheet provided: DCT: City (Urban) 22.4 mpg - (Euro numbers 10.5 Liters/100km) Hiway (Extra Urban) 37 mpg - (Euro numbers 6.4 Liters per 100km) Manual: City 20mpg (Euro 11.66 L/100km) Hiway 35 mpg. (6.7 L/100km The bad news. The gas tank only holds 13.7 US gallons (52 liters). Again, these are numbers from the Euro spec cars. |

It's pretty nice but I would rather save up for an M3/4 with a much nicer interior and refined exterior.

M3 has stupid high residuals (or had them in March/April). Residuals on M2 will most likely not be as good, at least in the first 6 months. Either way, M3 or M2 should make owners very happy. I absolutely adore my M3, and it kicks major ass at the track.

Weight does. There is practically an 80-90lbs difference between my car and an M2 which is not very significant, at least compared to the tire size difference. It might drive a bit different due to the smaller wheelbase, but to me the M2 is heavy for a car of such small footprint. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, I hope new owners will be happy with it. Just don't see any advantage in it the way it's specced out right now. For reference, I've started with an E36 M3 too.

Overall very nice and what everyone was expecting. I hope those are not fake side vents...on the other hand, I like the matte carbon fiber trim.
Should be a blast. I'm still considering an F80 (possibly with the competition pack, will have to see what that offers), a used 997.2 GTS and...can't believe this...the GT350. All will need to become clear by this spring!

I wouldn't be making a fuss about the 7:58 lap time around the Ring if I were BMW. There's a certain spanish family wagon that can match that time
Very nice car though and can't wait to see one live. Might be the one to get when it comes time to let my 135 go
