2016 BMW M2 (F87) Spotted on Nurburgring and Streets!! (VIDEO added)

W/// · 05-20-2014, 06:31 PM

Those videos make the car look so damn wide and low. Talk about bulldog all over again, I love it! Seriously cannot wait for this car. In Inka Orange please.

DAT ASS...im in love with that car the wider fenders look so good with a quad exhaust and a more aggresive front bumper would look better. I'm really crossing my fingers for a 6 speed manual transmission but I'm confident that BMW is going to make it theyre still making it for the m3, m4 even m5 and m6 so i don't think/hope this is the exception...also looking forward for a better color section...valencia orange, racing green, imperial blue, silverstone etc... and different interior something in cloth like the european version or some recaro seats!

Fedie · 05-20-2014, 07:07 PM

No quad exhaust?

JRV · 05-20-2014, 07:10 PM

Wow that looks impressive already. Best M in cameo I've seen in a while. This is going to look fantastic in full M uniform.

If they put the right motor in this thing this will be the M car to covet. IMHO

^^^^THIS^^^
My sentiments exactly.

GFK007 · 05-20-2014, 08:01 PM

May throw the m235i on lease trader when this comes out...

Jblack4083 · 05-20-2014, 08:27 PM

So if the M235i is already "better" than the 1M from a performance standpoint, the M2 should be bonkers.

I have a feeling this will be the car they decide to mess with and not offer a manual transmission for... It doesn't bear on their bottom line as much as the other M cars, and will most likely be the most performance oriented out of them all as well which leave the door open to make the whole "DCT is faster" argument. Not that i care, i'd gladly buy with DCT but i just have this strange feeling in my gut they will do something radical with this one. Theres clearly an opportunity.

Oaktree · 05-20-2014, 08:30 PM

I want to really like it and not order a M3 but I can't see how BMW won't make this perform well below the new M3/4 Or at least make it less like a historical M car than the M3/4 have become. Interior, motor, later gen diff, fixed calipers, etc. pessimism aside I hope I'm wrong and they let lose.

bplewis24 · 05-20-2014, 08:33 PM

I wish all of you would stop gawking at my future car like that.

Perhaps "Truth in Advertising", since M is no longer in the business of engines?

Perhaps they've concluded that the rest of the world is correct: a tune on a non-M engine is NOT an "M Power" engine?

phoenixbmwlife · 05-20-2014, 09:03 PM

If it looks like this minus the crappy 235i wheels, and with CF roof ill be happy.

r3dbimmer89 · 05-20-2014, 09:11 PM

This thing is beautiful already!

KANdaddy · 05-20-2014, 09:20 PM

I'm seriously way more excited about this than the M4. I may have to wait until 2016 to make my next ///M purchase.

Pyrat 2 · 05-20-2014, 09:24 PM

Reviewing the video there looks to be very little body roll in the corners.

B///MWGuy · 05-20-2014, 09:32 PM

It'd been interesting if they showed the testing 2015 C Class at 0:57 as well...

I'm starting to feel the same way...

I have hundreds of pictures of the M4 on my computer and dozens of "builds" on BMW.com, but the more I see of the M2, the more I think that is more of what I really want.

I LOVE the look of the M3/M4 but I have an F30, and I've never gotten used to how big it is.

The M4 is the same size as my car, which means it's also too big. I hope the M2 is as awesome as the M4, just in a lighter, E36/E46 sized package.
