Auto-God: thank you!
Now BMW, in your infinite automotive wisdom, can you 1) make the stripped model under $50K, and 2) no production limits? Please??

Since the M2 won't be a limited production and you'll see several years of this model, expect to see a "competition package" or something of the like with lots of BMW Individual options.
Remember, E92 M3 came out in 2007 and the ZCP Competition Package debuted in 2011, 4 years later. Might be worth waiting a few years after the M2 hits production if you can |

After my M3 that is currently on order, this will definitely be my next M car. It is going to sell like hotcakes and really seems like it's going to be the epitome of what the moniker, "ultimate driving machine" was originally built upon. Relatively light, excellent weight distribution, high revving (hopefully), and capable of getting you to and from the track, while stopping at the grocery store on the way back. The past is clearly important to utilize as reference and provides a blueprint, but hardly representative of the future why with global energy changes and industrial/efficiency requirements and regulations. It is truly remarkable what leaps and bounds BMW has been able to make in regard to working within these parameters/requirements, and provides a bit of insight as to what BMWs M division is capable of.
I feel this is a terrific time for us automotive enthusiasts as the game is clearly changing, yet it is ultimately to our benefit, and something extremely exciting to be a part of |

I have a bad feeling, though, that the CF roof will be intentionally omitted to maintain the "premium" look of the more expensive M3/M4. That's just my personal fear though; I continue to hope for the best. |

48-49k is pushing it. This car will be around 53,000 US dollars base. In either case I'm glad it's coming, this car may very well sway me away from the 981 Cayman s.

The prototype cars are just using the M235i Racing velcro'd on fenders for now. Later on, we will see the M2's real metal flared wheel arches.

Try $15K-$20K less. Look at the 2016 Cayman that is being developed. You'll understand why it will be so much more expensive. Porsche will let the Cayman finally have better performance numbers than the 911 by charging more for it |

There also most likely will not be any individual options for the M2,especially the paint,because SCOTT26 already said that the Leipzig plant,where the 2 series is made,is not able to do individual paint. Last edited by SW19; 06-05-2014 at 09:26 PM.. |

Either way, I'm more excited about this car than ever. Keep the updates coming! Edit: I didn't read the whole thread and missed Dackelone's post addressing the issue. Glad to know it will indeed have flares similar to the 1M. Last edited by Alpine F31; 06-05-2014 at 08:04 PM.. Reason: new (to me) info |
