Great car, but that seats look horrible. M2 needs the seats from M3/M4's new competition package

Love it, almost no options, packages and crap.

Agree. If I was in the market or a small fun simple sporty coupe at a reasonable price, this would be it!! Fast enough to stay with the pack on track days, yet not over the top in terms of performance and perfectly usable as a street car. Great car to learn driving fast in.

Okay...I'm relenting. I sang the chorus begging for a lightweight turbo 4 M2, but alas that didn't happen. I didn't get my way, but I'm thrilled with the actual product. I would still like for there to be a skunk works BMW division to take an Xdrive 228i and turn it absolutely bonkers!...but those are just my dreams, it would go against the current BMW ethos.

1M meets M2 at Dutch sneak preview

On April 2, 2016, the new owner of my VO 1M drove to a Dutch BMW dealer (BMW Dubbelsteyn in Dordrecht - The Netherlands) for a sneak preview of an LBB M2 + snapped some pictures.

@Betty Swollocks: I envy you.

 

[rollo]

Looks great in those photo's, that color blue really works on this car.

@Betty Swollocks: I envy you.

Ha! Well, I guess a lot of people will.

Mine is Long Beach Blue too.

 

[Zafiro]

To mess with Bettys brain....M2 or M4...

 

[martinbo]

The M2's styling reflects its persona: more muscular, bulldog-like stance - an automotive street fighter.

But that ol' M4 is ridiculously sleek - so much so that it makes a C63 look like a pudding - and it is undeniably the better looking car here.

I'd still take a manual M2 though...

To mess with Bettys brain....M2 or M4..

Can I not have both?

Actually, if I had to choose I would take the M4, without a doubt. But the plan is to replace the M2 with an M4. The good thing about getting the M2 first is that I don't have to decide on the M4 colour yet. That will be very difficult.

There is clearly something strange going on with the photo here. The M4 appears about 10% smaller, so it's a photoshop or a fault with the panoramic shot.

I agree. The M4 is one of the best looking cars around.

How about if given the choice between an M3 or an M4 Martin?
