Apologies. He was saying F30 LCI in May. No M2 in Shanghai.

I'm also hoping M Festival for the M2

Even if we don't get the reveal we can maybe get a little bit of information

Anything will do lol

I'm starting to think it may actually be Frankfurt when we see this thing first....

Frankfurt is in September... that would be brutal. I would think that there will be a concept reveal sometime in May either during M fest or at latest a private event such as pebble beach in August like the M4 and the production vehicle would be at Frankfurt. Or at least that would make sense. I mean, from a marketing perspective, is there any advantage to putting off the reveal that close to production? I would say no, but then again I'm an engineer not a marketer

I thought all Scots farmers drove old Range Rovers?

OT: Just happened to catch the Helen Mirren film of Queen Elizabeth on TV last night - great stuff. Loved the Scottish footage.

Do we all wear flat caps and smoke a pipe too?

Don't think I've seen that film actually. Anyways back on topic. Looks like no news today again

Don't forget Pebble Beach. I'm crossing my fingers for it because I'll actually be on the West Coast then and hope to attend.

It's pebble beach for concept. It's a cert based on my gut feel.

I think it would take away from the M4 GTS or the M2 to reveal them at the same event. That said I think the M4 GTS is getting M Festival since it will likely be a euro-only model. Then it would make sense for the M2 to follow in the M4's footsteps and get Pebble Beach.

As I understand it, the last generation M3 GTS was offered to BMW USA but they declined because they didn't think an M3 that expensive would sell here. I suppose whether BMW USA declines again will depend on the particulars.

It wasn't BMW NA's decision whether to bring the GTS or not. That model (with race bucket seats and roll cage) would never pass certification for road use in the U.S. Also being that the motor was unique, EPA testing would have had to been conducted.

I don't get all the hiding. Not like we'll get twin turbo V8 and a super light chassis with laser lights.

We should get "Bimmerpost Limited Edition" M2s for our patience!

Less than 8 months to go to production! Feels like eternity lol.

[BIGMIG]

I am super pumped it doesn't have a sunroof on these mules.

That means more headroom for my 6'7" 204cm frame. I will want to get a helmet in there.

I think the side vents will be a la Porsche Cayman. Looks nice.

[SCOTT26]

Why would a front engine car have air vents on the rear arches?

The cayman has it's engine in the back, that's what those vents are for.

Am I missing something? Didn't someone say that the sides will be similar to the GT, just not as pronounced? I thought the GT have side vents, no? And yes, I know that most Porsches have engines in the back.

Similar to the GT but without the side vents in the rear. I wasn't suggesting that you didn't know that, my apologies if it came off that way.

No worries. I remember Scott mentioning it was similar to the GT so when I was looking at the Cayman I thought it might be just like that.
