Yes I am, I have to get out of a tiny road and I always use them driving out when monovering around and getting through tight gaps, it's the only reason I swapped my 435i for an M135i as the 4 service was too big, I only have a couple of inches to spare even in a 1 series, I never had them on my old car but I didn't give a damn if I damaged that

Now if BMW had started with the S55 and charged a tiny bit less than the M3 then offered maybe a later CSL lightweight 4 banger with some fancy electronic turbos and water injection then they'd be some really interesting choices to be made. |

I just checked this information with my 2 bmw dealers and dubbelchecked it with my bmw motorsport sources. And they said exactly what I thought, guys there isn't a order system yet available for the M2. It will be available AFTER the first launch! Or maybe his dealer can see in the future lol

Also, it seems like most manufacturers are using black wheels with machined / polished faces and edges. So this wheels is contemporary to the times. The new M2 is the replacement to the 1M. This is why we are seeing it play out with few options, possibly no CF roof and no 18" wheels. It will play the part just fine and will sell like the last one, and can become another cult BMW. All good news IMO. |

If that indeed is how the bumper will look. No wonder there is not front PDC. The sensor by the headlight washer would be pointing towards the sky. With that bumper design, proper sensor placement would be difficult.

Yeah, but come on... you said it yourself, American manufacturers. The whole point is that a German manufacturer bringing a car into the US has to decide whether it is cost effective for them to import the car. An American manufacturer has an immediate upper hand in terms of cost. BMW does the same thing in Europe, as well as plenty of European brands that don't sell in the US market at all. There are diesel variants of just about every BMW, sometimes two diesel engines. Here we get like five diesel models.
