Old article: Auto Motor und Sport claims M2 will have 380PS from S57 engine

http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/n...e-8361435.html

Not sure how accurate this is, but they refer to the new straight six engine and calls it the S57...

BMW M2 with around 380 PS

Marked far the M235i, the upper end in the 2-models, so put the Bayern with a new M version the performance bar even higher. Intended to follow rumors of BMW M2 are also powered by a three-liter inline six-cylinder with 380 hp.

It is a version (S57) of the new six-cylinder, which will debut in the upcoming 7 Series. Switched is available with a manual six-speed gearbox or a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The standard sprint is to be possible in 4.4 seconds. The maximum speed is as usual will be 250 km / h. In addition to the rear-wheel drive variant is also thought about all-wheel versions for different markets.

Under the hood of the BMW M2 is also still lose kilos compared to the previous top model. Furthermore used on BMW wider fenders, in which powerful wide tires turn to more powerful light-alloy wheels. Both axles and brakes and differential are taken from M3 / M4.

BMW M2 is celebrating 2015 Premiere
Apart from a slightly different front and rear apron, BMW M2 receives a modified chassis and revised traction and stability systems. In addition, the braking system of the new power is adjusted. The interior is likely to be even more equipped when it comes to racing feeling. Various M logos adorn the cockpit and door sill trims. Sports seats, aluminum finish and leather sports steering wheel are also standard equipment. The BMW M2 in 2015 will celebrate its premiere and then roll to dealers beginning in 2016.

Great info as always, Boss.

This makes a lot of sense, and puts the M2 where you would expect in the lineup.

In view of this motor information disclosed in Auto Motor und Sport, differing with previous information we have received regarding the M2, I'm curious as to just how accurately we currently view what will be actually offered at the official M2 release.

I don't think this article is accurate.
It has no date. That sort of thing makes me suspicious. Also, The web page has an English translation option and I can't find the article there.
Frankly, the reference to AWD and a new engine type (slated also for the 7 series??) makes me believe this is either an old article written when rumors were all over the place or written by an out of touch correspondent looking for something to do.
But then, I haven't finished my coffee, so if I'm wrong, I'll blame it on that.

Cool down guys.

This article is old, very old. It was written in 2014 and they have no clue what they are speaking about.

I think this is a result of the internet echo chamber, as we get closer to launch, old information is being found and paraphrased in new articles.

IMO from the sound clips we've heard fro the ring, the car sounds like an N55. So i think this is false.

Turn up the volume and listen, specifically, to the sound track during video seconds 52 through 54. Sounds great!
