I would think she will go with M2 since it had 4 seats vs 2 in Cayman.

Positive news. I checked out the M4 in the showroom and not pleased at all. The boy racer seats are uncomfortable junk and the Cadillac style trunk is so big you could sleep in it. I don't see anyone buying an M4 knowing whats coming in the M2. Just hope the seats are fixed for M2.
In regards to the M235, Get rid of the active suspension, sun roof delete and 6sp stick pricing, add m-diff as standard factory option and you have a poor mans M2. I would buy this for excellent value back to $40k instead of 50k with m-diff. Is the M2 worth 50k I would say yes but I priced it at 56k. So I think the fat M4 and poor M235 sales are helping us out quite nicely. The BMW Engineer who designed the seats should be fired and who ever came up with M235 pricing scam too! |

Spring 2016 is so far away
I'm so tempted to start modifying the E36, but having a hard time justifying it if I'm going to get rid of it for an M2 when it comes out. First world problems I know, but still....

Will Individual be available on the M2? I heard early speculation that it won't. Has anything changed from this info??

I guess I can't really complain either because I still got a pair of M3's to play with. Going to do a few things to the E92 because I know for sure that'll be around in 2 years. But the E36, who knows.

People I have talked to reckon Autobild are somewhat a little opportunistic.

And with (at the past point) with the M3 and M4 getting to a suitable target weight I do not think they will add the extra weight to that car. The M5 and M6 will have the option of both RWD and xDrive but with M-DCT only.

this thing better deliver! I will be in the market next year and if it is a pig like 235 I know many folks will abandon the brand. Hell I know several BMW hpde guys and instructors that bought P because there is nothing interesting in the BMW lineup

Opportunistic as in they seized an opportunity to leak secret information, or did you mean optimistic, as in this number is probably high?

Right, but I do not believe this will come to pass. If BMW wanted a small RWD car, they would simply keep the F2x chassis alive and update it for another generation. I firmly believe the next generation UKL M2 will be an AWD car with a transversely mounted 350-400hp I4. I'd even place a wager on that today - eight or so years before the car will exist.
