Here's hoping they keep the M2 off its meds.

As for the E46 M3, I am biased so no need to comment there.

Currently I've got a deposit down on a Cayman GT4. Ideally I'd keep the 1M and add it, but depending on what comes it's one of the few cars I can imagine trading the 1M for.

I want to see what the car will actually look like. My ego wants the exclusivity of owning a 1M but the eye likes the looks of the M2 renders. Like you said we will see.
1M has been rock solid and my work horse car for drives and road trips. Don't really want to let her go for that alone.

Perforated leather/leatherette or CLOTH/Alcantara!! I'm tired of having a sweaty back. Even with the AC on max, on trips longer than 45 minutes, it's uncomfortable. I'm not a particularly sweaty person either. It's really bad in the summer.

Drove a Ford Taurus rental recently. It had perforated, ventilated A/C seats. Every BMW should have these as an option. So incredible!

Maybe not in BMWs, but in that Taurus, the controls are clearly labeled "A/C" for the seats.

Some more pics of the M2 out testing in the Wild...
The sensor on the roof is for vehilce speed. You see cars with this sensor when BMW is testing different tire sizes.

Something about the rear of the 2-series makes the wheels look disproportionately small. In the last two pics of the M2 test mule you can see what I mean. The rear wheels are (presumably) the same diameter as the fronts, but in those pictures the rear wheels actually look smaller than the front, even when the rear is closer to the camera. It's a strange aspect to the design... Hopefully with the right kind of fender flares and design language they can overcome this...
The M2 render (the red one) at the beginning of this thread is by far the best I have seen and if the M2 really looks like this I will be screaming at BMW to take my money now.

I really am torn between a 235 ED when my 135 lease is up in March (I will be in Germany anyway in April) or maybe buying my 135 out of the lease and waiting for an M2. Truly torn. And yes, Front of the orange, back of the red - perfect combo. |
