timeline for official info? Specs, price etc...
When do we get official specific specs on this car along with pricing? Im going crazy with the wait for information. Im #1 on my dealers list for it (which is weird to me as I've never been #1 for any list), but Im also very interestingly watching and waiting for official information and specs on the new Shelby GT350 mustang. I cant believe Im saying that but for the first time Im actually really digging a mustang...
But besides that, I've read almost every thread here and every snippet of info. Looking doubtful that we'll have a concept version of the M2 at Detroit, but it has been typical of BMW to roll out a 95% complete "concept" version of the M cars and then the production model a few months later. I'd just love to see some details as Im sure you all are as well. What does it look like, how much power does it have, whats the weight, etc....

According to "insider" Scott26, we will see the concept M2 at Frankfurt, Sept. 2015. From that I infer that we will get the production M2 launched at Detroit NAIAS, January 2016. My guess is specs will be released sometime in the Fall of 2015, after Frankfurt.

Like others have said. We're a long time away from anything official. I don't think BMW has even finished designing the car themselves.
But I'm anxiously awaiting more info just like you. |

A low optioned Cayman S that I'd want is $70k something, and I don't even bother with trying to build a 911 online. Just my particular situation, but I'm hoping the M2 comes out to $55k max with the option I want (not much).

My dealer, who knows as little as everyone else, said expectations are Q2 2016 delivery.
Everyone who has wanted to put money down has walked out the door with a 235i instead. Lol. |

That's what made me excited about that car. I don't see how BMW can make it worst because I quite enjoyed the M235i (and it was an automatic too...), and they'll be adding some frankly awesome parts from the M3/4. It's one of those situations where it's almost impossible for them to screw up. I'm not on any list myself. Going to wait and see and hope for the best.

I'm purposely NOT driving one due to this. Same with the M3 as I bet by the time the M2 is out the M3 will have enough discounts to get it close to an M2.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind waiting a year to see the bugs worked out, not to mention being able to get it cheaper than if I had pulled the trigger right out of the gate Quote:
At least a test drive might give you a taste of things to come. I wouldn't be able to wait 2 years for the M2 if I had 0 idea how the 2er drives in general, I'd really go crazy
