The intro video is very reminiscent of the M4 launch video.

Holy crap: A 500HP naturally aspirated V8 with a flat-plane crank shaft. Hello, Ferrari.

Wasn't that entire video, save the interviews, CGI? That's not a real car in the video. Need for Speed looks more realistic than that video.

I'm in love, although I really wish we could see a real model. And for the love of god can we axe the stripe thing?

If I owned this I would probably get rid of the grille fangs. I don't think they work as well here.

I am anything but a Mustang fan (no disrespect thought) but I'd take this of an M4 any day.

Dunno, I kind of like them. At least they are in matte black!

To whoever said they'd take one over an M4, I entirely agree.

Over 500hp, flat-plane crank, Magnaride suspension, 15.5" Brembo brakes and Recaro seats.

Wonder how much the M2 will cost? Going to be difficult to justify for 380hp.

+1

we don't know how's the handling and weight yet but so far it looks good. We just don't know if they cut corners anywhere. I am guessing this will be in the M2 price range. Germans should be worried.

It's still going to feel like a Mustang, albeit the best one yet. The M2 is more reasonably sized and being about 300 lbs lighter should be more nimble. It's been posted that someone involved in the M2 testing has said that BMW has hit it out of the park with this new M.
