Seems that some "///M Design Icons" boxes were not ticked for the M2.

I guess the "M Design Icons" tables rather illustrate what the BMW M designers and engineers have in mind versus what BMW bean counters impose in the end for budget and strategic (model line-up positioning) reasons.

Are they drunk? Cant believe they send this to dealers and dont deliver the features on the car.
They could have mentioned another M-Icon: Bespoke, high revving, natural aspirated engine with individual throttle butterflys for each cylinder |

pop out vent windows in the rear became fixed. $$$ Ellipsoid headlights were dumped for $7 Sylvania bulbs Etc. And yes.. the M2 is a great car at a helluva price.. It's an excellent successor to the 1M. If they were to decide to make it in a four door model as well it likely over time will turn out to be the second coming of the E36 M3 with regards to impact on the company. The E30 (in all variants) was an amazing car.. but the E36 really put BMW on the map in the sports car world. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 11-13-2015 at 09:06 AM.. |

I bet that BMW M would have added a bunch of awesome things if they had free hands and budget but you have to draw the line somewhere, for the money I can't see a single competitor that give you the same package as the M2 does. |

you are wrong about this, the bulbs probably cost them $2.99

indeed.
$7 I quoted was the retail price at your local NAPA dealer. In order to purchase an ellipsoid headlamp you had to spend about $90-110 at a BMW dealer (note.. dealer pricing may vary based on your dealer markup from BMW recommended price) there were aftermarket CIBIES and HELLA that were upgrades over OEM |

This really is strange. Master troll or clueless? You decide.
