A clue to new M2 bhp
I guess this is competition for new M2 so can we expect new M2 will be 360/370 bhp? Audi looks awful

Good specs, and proper hood line! Stop making ugly hoods BMW. You have realized your mistake by correcting the upcoming G 7series. Now give us a prettier M2 by following the GT concept, let's do this!

Audi RS3 Hatchback Revealed
Audi RS3 will have 362hp 5 cylinder. It's still up in there whether it will hit US shores though. Maybe as a limited production model. Enjoy!

would LOVE to have this join the 1M in my garage as a 'family car'. The Audi 5-pot engines are something special....

I just love hatchbacks in general. A performance hatchback would make it even more special.

I hate to say it but I like it... I feel like i'm betraying the brand if I dont buy BMW though. I hope the M2 kills this!

Honestly, if I had a choice between the M2 coupe, and a 1M coupe (with a 2er front end), I'd go with the 5 door hatchback before the coupe. No joke.
Shame that the E36 compact pretty much killed any chances of BMW bringing hatchbacks here.

It looks awesome - and I said something similar - that if they made an M version of it, I would take it in a heartbeat. Like a mini "estate" M - it would be perfect...

My M3 spent too much time in the shop for me to keep it without a warranty, the extended warranties are just too expensive so it had to go - I didn't get any loyalty from BMW in that regard so I went to Porsche. If the M2 isn't something special then I'll skip it and look at the GT350 or a 911 for my next ride. |

Another sweet Audi that will most likely not be available in the states.... Fuck Audi, come on! I loved the TTRS when I test drove that. If this is anything like the TTRS It would be on my list.
Nothing like a 4 door hot hatch that does 0-60 in 4 seconds. What a sleeper!

The American market for wagons is just too weak. I wouldn't be surprised if the F31 is the last Touring to make it here, we'll see.
