So it'll be even less "M" than the 1M. Hopefully the price in the USA is less M as well.

Wouldn't be a deal breaker by any means but I think the M mirrors are really sweet

You guys are scaring me. No M mirrors, less M than the 1M...shouldn't it be more of an M than the 1M???

I wish it had no mirrors. No reason to look at anything behind/beside me when I'm blasting past people.

That will be disappointing if it doesn't get M mirrors and just has the regular 2 series side mirrors.

At least the M2 will have the better round gas cap,while the M3 and M4 get the crappy square one.

This is interesting - I wonder why? I wouldn't see that as something that would be too difficult to add, plus it helps differentiate against the 235.

The small little touches on the M cars are always nice - I really thought the M3 mirrors would show up on the car at the reveal.

I must have missed the memo, but someone please advise me why it's taken 'years' to develop the M2 when BMW has entirely gone out of its way to limit the options and ///M traits to the max?

BMW managed to do all this in roughly a year with the 1M and I see less being done to the M2 in light of 'years' of development time:

Shared 'performance' engine: check
M3/M4 shared suspension / brakes / lsd: check
Limited Options: check
Limited Colors: check
One interior: check
Less ///M traits than 1M, now validated: check

How much more punch do I need to be drinking to still be falling for the hype?

Well if it's cheap, then it's ok.

You forgot to address the actual driving ability of the car itself....this thing might blow the 1M out of the water with all of the track testing they've done.
