Does the M2 have a Hard Drive

This might sound stupid but does the M2 have a hard drive for importing music, movies etc? Coming out of a MINI which has 20GB of storage.....but then the MINI does not have a DVD/CD player either.

iDrive music import has been available for a decade on all BMWs with iDrive. Don't know about an ability to store movies, but it will rip music CDs and copy/transcode most music file formats from media (CD/DVD/USB - flash/MTF).

Do you know how big the hard drive is and how you transfer music. There is no mention of the drive in the manual that I can see.

It's written there. There are 20GB available for your own music. It will convert it to its own format and bitrate is also limited.
