I don't even acknowledge the 4 cylinder anything, in my thought process, so I didn't mention it. |

Damn, no wonder things are going electric so quickly. This a modern day emissions motor. Good going BMW for being able to produce this engine with all the constraints in place. It must make things significantly more costly and complex.

If they somehow don't increase the size of the car, the next M2 should be an absolute beast

will the phase out of the S55 make it a more desirable car years from now since later cars -G87- with more emissions regulations keeps it more detuned?

The S58 is already making 503hp in the X3/4 M Competition so they have plenty of headroom to tune up the G87 for a Competition model as well as other variants. The S58 doesn't have the crank hub issue which means it's a tuners dream.

I am not 100 procent certain we get a new m2 with b58 or s58 engine.
The new m5 in 2024 wil go electric. If this is the case with the new m2 also i am done buying new cars. I keep my Ice engined cars forever! |

The new Z4 weighs 3,457 lbs and the Supra is about 60 lbs less than that. They're not the same platform as the current M2c, but they are built off the CLAR platform which is the same platform the next G87 will be based off of. Once the G8x M3/4 come out later this year we can start to get a better idea for weight as they too will be based off the CLAR platform which is lighter than the outgoing F series cars. When the new G42 2 series comes out next year we'll get an even better idea for the weight of the G87.

Tbh I'm not exactly aware of all the politics here and the way they're perceived, as I've only recently arrived and don't know many Dutchies. But I sure see sh#tloads of Teslas 😂

I am of this mind thought when I purchased my M2C. I skipped my normal P-car for a more drivers/organic car. To me, speed at this point is going to be irrelevant as we already have more than enough hp but having all your senses come alive when driving is really becoming a rarity. Anyone can make a implement of speed and the writing was on the wall with electric hyper cars of speed. I believe BMW knows it has to produce a hyper electric car. I am surprised it wasn’t first introduced in a car like the i8 with 1001 hp but pretty sure “M“ will eventually = electric high performance cars.
