BMW M2 to begin production in 2015?

Well according to BMW Blog...

[Bing]

Tasty

Is it me, or is BMW's choice of yellow creeping more and more towards the actual colour of marmite though ? Eventually it will be brown...

Looks good doesn't it? Reminds me a lot of the E46 M3.

[Bing]

It's those rear arches, they just say, 'right then, who's next ?' in a menacing tone of stance

[Angie4m]

Love it. I often see a black and a white 1M and I just love them too. The arches do look really good. Gives a great stance to the car.

Wonder how many of these will be made and what effect it will have on 1M prices?

[LeeZ4MR]

Really looking forward to this launching as it will be right up my street and agree the 1M is a stunning bit of kit so beemer know a good recipe when they see one

[Dale_B]

Love it!
Should be an extremely impressive bit of kit!

[Sae]

Looking forward to seeing this also, hoping the rear gets spicey as the rear lights are a bit bland on the current 2er models

[hopz121]

Looks amazing, gota be one of the best looking BMW cars made IMO.

[Bradders75]

That's a bit of me, definitely. I wonder if they'll hold their value like the 1M? Although a fair chunk of cash up front, the 1M has given depreciation free motoring for nearly 4 years to owners doing low mileage. How could Mrs Bradders not be onside with man maths like that?

[StevenH72]

I wonder what sort of price point these will hit, £45-47k?

[original guvnor]

Car Mag reckon £40k Steven but I can't see that. It's too similar to the M235i. I reckon you're about spot-on.

[jimmybell]

I would of said 45k. I wonder what the engine will be, and what the rear end looks like (not a huge fan of the stock 2series rear..). If they get a decent rear and a nice block then i'll be interested.

I really dont want to buy a turbo ///M car

[original guvnor]

It's going to be a Re-worked version of the (N55?) engine in the M235i. Predicted horse power is 360-380. If you google M2 some spy pictures published in Car Magazine show the rear although it shows only a single exhaust either side so not the finished article.

Looks good, and yes OG those rear quarters look very E46 M3 esque ... I like a lot! 45k price point sounds about right, slots under the 56k starters for the m3 / m5.

Interested to see how long they will keep chucking these engines into their cars once the i8 has been around and hopefully proven well.
