LBB or MG for me.

Still need concrete info on curb weight to decide.
I don't think you'll have any problem swapping wheels with someone. When the M3/4 receives the competition pack, the "Standard" wheels will be everywhere.

As for the moonroof delete, I wouldn't call it negligible. Those suckers are pretty heavy (although not as heavy as the 200 lbs system in the C63!). It's going from a regular moonroof delete to a CF roof where it's pretty negligible IMO, but it does look cool

I have moonroofs on 2 of my cars and I never even used them.

After driving the new M3 with the adaptive suspension,I decided it was something that I didn't need for the M2.I just want the firm sport suspension.I would never drive the car in the comfort setting.

Are these US options or just Euro?

I hope we get a different wheel option. I absolutely hate the 2-tone from the F8x.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...you can change wheels, but that is just an added un-needed expense.

I think they are trying to sell this car, and not use it in some complex fashion to force people to buy an f80.
Agree 100% here. This whole notion that BMW is executing on a strategy that pushes unhappy M2 buyers up to the M3/4 is kind of looney. You can find exceptions to any rule, but in general, buyers shop to a price point. We don't have M2 pricing yet, but the jump to the M4 (assuming the M2 buyer is shopping coupes) is likely to be a large one. A stripper (cloth, AW) M4 is $65,195 with destination. If the M2 starts at $50-$55, the jump is close to $10k. That is not a small jump for someone shopping to a price point.

Based on the option list that just showed up, it's pretty clear what's going on here. BMW is not sitting on some desert island with their head in the sand. The secondary market for the 1M is just nuts. The car is listed at or above MSRP everywhere I've seen it. I can't say if they're selling at that point, but even if resale were 80% at this point, that would incredible for that car. There is clearly a market for a small M, and the 1M has provided BMW a template that they know will sell. The least risky thing for them to do is deliver a sequel to the 1M, and that appears to be what they're doing.

It seems as if they're trying really hard to get people not to want the M2.
It's obvious to me that it's going to be an awesome drive, but not so much as an ownership experience.

It's really annoying that we only get 4 exterior colors and no other choices for the interior. Not to mention that black leather is extremely dull... No PDC on the front, no Individual program... This option list is really disappointing!

I would go even further than BMW with this car only 2 colors. Both of them M2 exclusive, one dark-ish and one white-ish :P

It's hard to get excited when there are so few exterior color options, a single interior option, a single rim option, and no carbon roof or guaranteed M seat as in the f80 and f82.

The very idea of owning an M car, which has long been a dream of mine, almost seems more appealing to me in theory than actually spending what will be close to 60k for this car.

If it doesn't lease well, I would be very inclined to get an f80.
Here's the thing, most of us who are in love with the idea of the limited option M2 are hoping that you get the F80. We want you to get it.
We'll see. Have a deposit down on an m2, so not really worried about it.

+1! Deal breaker all the way.

If I had to take a sunroof that would be the proverbial straw

Not wrong. Besides manual, BMW only offers a 7 speed DCT or an 8 speed Automatic. That being said, they're both automatics if you ask me

The interior pieces on the dashboard in CF.
As I said above, the 2-series isn't build for HUD at the moment.

Interior trim (that you can order with wood or aluminum on other cars).

No HUD should be absolutely no surprise at all. Can't easily retrofit it unfortunately. Maybe during LCI, I'm not sure.
