M2 Gran Coupe rumor
Rumor has it that BMW is going to release M2 Gran Coupe with the spec 420-ish hp, 4 door, stick and AWD. Wouldn't this be a slap in the face of the M3 (420-ish hp, 4 door, stick, RWD)?

That rumor is complete bullshit.
But, even if an F44-based M2 Gran Coupe were coming, it would be a completely different product from an M3. Go drive an RS3 and RS5 Sportback to understand why. |

In regards to an M2 Gran Coupe based on the F44?
If I pick up my phone I can still hear someone from BMW M. Laughing.

Since we are keeping the discussion open, I would like to provide another reminder for everyone.
https://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/...coming-in-2019 We called that out here at Bimmerpost for the BS it was at the time, but the rumor spread for months and would not die. In fact, you can find people across the internet today that still believe the above will happen. Autocar updated their article as the evidence that BMW was *not* going to build a sub 3 Series four door RWD car became more damning, but they still insisted an M2 Gran coupe was coming, complete with an S55: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...onights-reveal Quote:

Hypothetically,I expect either updated M135iS or M235iS rather than an M.
An M contradicts many recent and past statements.

The M2 is the real replacement for the M3 coupe. BMW keeps growing its cars so the M2 is now the size of what used to be an M3 and it is a much better size than the M3.
