BMW interiors are really becoming outpaced by this generations competitors. Great example you posted of the RS3, A45, and Golf R. Have you seen the interior on the 2016 TTS as well? Looks pretty damn good and much better than the M2. I feel that the only interiors still leading in class with BMW are the 5 and 6 Series. Even the new G12 7-Series still isn't a match for this generations S-Class in my opinion. The 2016 C-Class is so elegant, I'm not sure that BMW will be able to match it for the next generation of 3-Series. I guess time will tell. As for the M2, I'd still rather have a 2016 Audi TTS. Although the 2016 TTS has 60 less horsepower, it's still 300-400lbs lighter than the M2. No 6MT in the TTS though.

I think all of the performance parts being pricey optionals is BS.
Is it a M-car or is it not? These parts should have been standard. Also disappointed with the performance figures. They should have given it a lot more. This doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to my e92 335i (ESS), which has more HP and more torque. If I do decide to put my name down, it's going to the tuner the day after delivery. They should have fitted it with the M4 GTS engine, that would be proper. |

I will never take the car to a track, but I will race you on the Autobahn! They can easily give it more power if they want to, so I guess the reason they don't is because for some reason, the higher number needs to be faster. |

It boggles my mind how people on here expected a car with similar features/performance of the M4 for more than 10k cheaper. Even giving it all those features and pricing it close to the M4 is a horrible business decision.

It serves no other purpose than a 2 has to be slower than a 3, a 3 has to be slower than a 5. Why wouldn't they pull 420hp and 550nm from the engine? You'll easily get that from a stage 1 tune. This M2 (at least on paper) feels like a lightly tuned M235i with a few parts being changed for M-parts and beefed up exterior. The M2 should have at least 100hp more than the M235i, like the difference from the e92 335i to e92 M3, or current 340i to current M3. Last edited by Propanelgen; 10-16-2015 at 09:24 AM.. |

I Like the MG but I have 3 gray cars and I need some color. LBB for me.
I know the point that this car is made in Leipzig and that the plant is set up for efficiency has been beaten to death but really, having an authentic M seat option should not be impossible to facilitate. I'm planning on putting in my Recaro's. If I need to ship the car to IND or somebody who's great at coding, well then those guys are gonna get the money that BMW could have charged to put in proper, non slippery performance seats. If BMW is all about the money, they leave a lot on the table. AGAIN, study the Porsche playbook. I'm gonna get a 2016 but I know the 2017 will be better. LCI, probably an added color. Better dealer pricing. If it comes in at 51k, I'm good as delivered. And that delivery will be in the RS touring ED group in MAY 2016. |

Sometimes it's easier (and cheaper) to take the initiative and do the job yourself. My 1 M Coupe seat install : They transformed a great car in to something truly outstanding. |

I dunno, if Nissan can afford to put unique seats in the 370Z Nismo, you would think that BMW can afford to put unique seats in the M2.

BMW fitted bespoke seats in to the E46 M3 CSL, but at a cost due to the limited number produced ...... The current M3/4 gets them because they'll be built in larger volumes. if the press is to be believed, the 2M won't be. |
