IF it's based on the current M2, then this car should be a slam dunk. But, I thought I'd read that the 2 series gran coupe body style would debut w/ the next gen 1/2 series platform which will be FWD based (likely on the same platform as the Mini/x1/etc).

Torn, as I am about to pull the trigger for an order on an F80. But I cannot wait for this to maybe become a reality.

I’m hearing allocations for F80 are drying up - do you have one lined up? If not you better act quickly.

This is not Gran Coupe specific, but this forum doesn't allow searching for "M2", so...


I had read the rumors that the M2 would have a "CS" version coming out for 2019 that contains the S55 engine. What I didn't realize is that assumption is this will *replace* the existing M2, not augment it. So the N55 M2 s soon dead.

So the M2 will soon be faster, more expensive, and more fartier sounding.

Maybe killing used M2 prices while we’re at it.

That would be nice.

The current owners are claiming their car is a classic and their resale values won't be affected. :kekeke:

If the new one is priced in the stratosphere they might be right.

FC: don't you want a sedan to put the kids in? Also vaporware vs. plans. Just do YMB so I can be a buyer later. Prefer no sunroof, but not a dealbreaker.

Funny. Someone in the adjacent company just got an M3 in YMB. It's not a bad color, but I much rather have Sakhir. It's too light a blue.

Let's just say I never warmed up to Laguna Seca blue for the same reason, so YMB this is farther from ideal than closer.

If they had offered LeMans or Imola, I would have rather taken one of those.

I never liked these clown colors... At all.

Give me a nice dark blue, please.
