Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Ladies and gentlemen, here is the latest update -- get ready for BMW M2! -- BMW M2, N55B30T0, manual and auto * This tells us at least that an M2 has been tested, and with an upgraded N55 engine paired to both a manual and auto transmission. * The homepage image used is a rendering only. |

nothing to confirm anything so far..rumors upon rumors..thats my take..but expect a M2...manual only in 2016 stripped down to 75,000...and starting adding up
limited production too...okay that's my take...nothing confirmed on anything.. |

The reason is simple: by the time I see a new model, its design is finalized. Possibly, option lists are not settled, and some tweaks can be made based on test results, but the general blueprint is there. |

This is bitter sweet news... It's great that BMW has decided to go with a 6 as oppose to a 4, but an N55? I mean how many generations of cars are they going to try and get out of the N55. Sure, it's probably upgraded a little, but c'mon, let's get a new 6!

This month's Car and Driver has a article about 25 upcoming cars you should wait for. The M2 is on the list and they said it is a 400+ hp version of the N55 engine.

The thing that sucks the most, if true, is the limited production BS.
That's just dumb. Make as many as people want. Don't create this artificial situation where interested people can't get one. Because that's exactly what happened with the 1M. It would be a shame if this is true...
