Although I wouldn't expect Merino or even Nappa to be offered in the entry level M, they should at least offer Vernasca leather as an option which is a step up from Dakota. The standard seats can remain Dakota due to cost, but since they are going thorough the trouble of offering upgraded seats they should have better leather and that cost would be passed onto the customer. Vernasca leather is not nicer than Merino so it wouldn't step on big brothers toes. Would be a win win, but I guess the bean counters don't see it that way.

I prefer the Dakota leather. That stuff is bulletproof. The other leathers don't look so good after a year.

Leather quality would not make any difference in my buying decision, so I'm fine with Dakota as long as I can get an allocation for Euro Delivery.

Minor add on the M2 / M3 Comparo - size does matter - M3 has more presence on the road even though M2!pulls mad looks the M3 is just bigger but not too big ...... and what I notice most, driving both cars weekly, is it has more room to throw your arm up and out the window on a nice day.

It also doesn't make sense M2 offers zero extra tech and luxury over lesser 2ers. Tech and luxury have nothing to do with performance hierarchy, BMW is cheaping out on a popular product (sold out anyway) is what happened.

The M2 was done as a budget M car, which is why they didn't change the seats. |

gonna be really pissed if the comp will be the same price as the m2 now. the fact that its gonna replace our m2 and most of the stuff will be as an option that means it will be just a couple thousands more or not. i payed 61 k EUR here in Münich. the M4 starts at 75k. the M2 comp cannot be 71k nor 69k. i would say 66k? but there m2s out there which costs more then 70k EUR with every option.

The M2 Comp, in my opinion, will get closer to base M3/4 prices, but not exceed it (unless you add options). But we should know for sure soon enough.

Individual doesn't count, you can individual any model with right amount of cash.

I certainly do - it might all be in my head, but the M3 sort of splits the difference, based on my driving impressions of all three. The M2 definitely feels the smallest, the M4 the biggest. I do wish the M3 were closer to the M2's size, but I don't think we are going to see a baby M sedan...which would sell like hotcakes...
