Ah, thanks - no big surprise there - thought I had read somewhere they were considering bringing it here. Guess I'll stick with a new GTI in a couple years for when snow and road salt scare the M2 into the garage for winter.

This is definitely the car to get, especially if available with a manual. To hell with the G20!

This will be a good option for people who want a new BMW 4 door sedan but don't want to spend a bunch. There are plenty of people who get BMWs and don't care about the driving experience. Counter intuitive I know, but they are the majority of customers.

What a stupid concept. Get it for the bigger cars but if BMW's intention was to separate 2 door and 4 door cars with their even and odd number scheme, why add 4 doors to every even number? Totally dilutes what they wanted.

Bmw needs to stop reacting to the market and continue to innovate.
This just be a reaction response to the RS3 which bmw will never match. M2 with rwd and the s55 is the real deal. Don't cock it up with this four door abomination. Then again...the former head of Audi is now the M boss. What an epic story it'll be if he cripples bmw from inside out and dooms the company, then is welcomed back to hero's welcome to VAG.

Even if it were RWD, this car is simply too small for my needs... Just like the A4/S4/RS4 is too small.

I assume the coupe and vert will remain RWD with the 40i designation.

This way, they'll get it. Although the Audi man will have to show BMW how to build high output fours, because obviously BMW has no fucking clue. |

OMG all the hate. This today is a non-existing BMW. How can it be a negative for BMW to add a NEW option. Don't like it don't get it. They are not stopping making anything that today is RWD.
I've driven the X1 and it's a much better SUV than the predecessor RWD one. People don't care about driving that type of car at 10/10ths. |

While there will be a G8x M2 (probably S58 powered, but we cannot rule out a high output 400hp+ B58 yet), there will be no I6-powered model below it. Instead, although it has not yet been confirmed, there will likely be a four cylinder M Performance model with at least 300hp to replace the current 335hp M240i. |
