I'll be patiently waiting for the M2 CSL (or equivalent) - however long it takes.
Although, at that point, I'll also be cross-shopping the M2 CSL against a Cayman GT4 and, potentially, a used 991.1 GT3.
With performance cars gradually moving away from NA and towards turbos, even a 2015+ 991.2 911 S bi-turbo PDK w/- Sports Chrono (wow!) would be an interesting proposition. As has been found with the N54, cheap power is easily accessible with turbo engines, so a modified 991.2 could be a dark-horse, notwithstanding the GT3/GT4 tech that it would miss out on.

Finally something worthy of competing with the CLA 45's. Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

not impressed!

the M2 is a bit disappointing, that CSL version looks awesome but it's total fantasy land just in case youre serious about waiting for that... or a GT4
110k+ for the M2 will be an insult really when an M4 will lay enormous turds all over it

BMW86 · 10-14-2015, 01:57 AM

I think the M2 is great.

I wish it came with these features, in order of what I want most:
- M seats (1 piece same as M3/M4)
- Carbon roof (option)
- M mirrors (retrofit may be possible)
- S55 (wishful thinking)

Otherwise it laps the Ring in under 8mins so it's a huge improvement. Sits wider and lower than the 1M. Also weighs 25kg less than an M235i too. I think it's going to be an epic drive.

EOI order placed! LLB 6MT

Nope. E82 will remain in my possession but will be kept as a tweaker / track car.

dh58 · 10-14-2015, 04:10 AM

I love that alot of people are still keeping their 1 series but getting the m2.

F82tyler · 10-14-2015, 05:08 AM

I'm for sure gonna be looking into getting one when they release or placing the order.

Zuzu · 10-14-2015, 05:11 AM

Not sold on it yet..
Really want to see in the flesh.

yeah but what you described is an M4

seems everyone, like me, wanted a smaller M4

Yes you could say that

It's a shame they didn't offer these as optional extras.

Would have loved to see a carbon ceramic brake option too. I think we would see a huge improvement over the already quick 7:58 lap time of the Ring.

Newguy123 · 10-14-2015, 07:51 PM

Not worth it, too heavy and under powered the B58 240i will have better power potential IMO
