I'm glad everyone wants BMW to at least give us the option for bucket seats who cares if it pushes the cost to the M3 and M4! Also don't make the same mistake with the comp auto only

Really appreciate all this info. Very excited about M2 as potential addition to my fleet or maybe replace F80 M3, a few questions. - Do we know when there will be M2cs? I would imagine it would have the CF buckets. - Will M2 also get rear floating caliper? - Any chance of DCT? - The dash is a real deal breaker for me. It just doesn’t fit a performance car. Any chance it will be different layout? I wish there was a analog cluster in center like Porsche does for 911 and Lexus for LC500. Are there any special M models for 50th Anniversary or is it all just trim packages on the existing M cars? |

I could of course love the M2 without them, but that dash....holy hell. I absolutely despised the digital gauges in my G82, I'm not sure I could go back to anything like that (which sucks because that's what everything is likely to be going forward). |

(I'm down for one of the first to hit Texas, so it won't have far to go) Seriously stupid question, but if I was interested in collecting it in Mexico and driving home, will 'Mx delivery' become a possibility? |

The R&D from the M5 trickles down to the M3/M4, then to the M2.

Save a little longer and Buy a new porsche GT4 RS
A real drivers car. A car which is developed as a sports car. Low center of gravity, lightweight, small and nimble. Everything a new BMW M does not have anymore. |

Not a cheap looking tacked on continuous screen that looses almost ALL physical buttons. I am trying to envision them passing off a version of that in the upper class cars. M5, M8 and so on. |

....ummmm.....ynguldyn knows what he's talking about. He always does. He's pretty well connected. Another point....I'm LESS concerned about the lack of carbon fiber bucket seats, and MORE excited that we're going to get the real performance bits and pieces - - S58 engine straight from the M3/4, adaptive suspension, carbon fiber roof and a MANUAL transmission!!!!!!! Remember, the e30 M3 didn't have carbon fiber seats (but it was fantastic), the e46 M3 didn't have carbon fiber bucket seats (and it was fantastic), the e36 M3, and F87 M2 didn't have CF seats (and they are fantastic). And make no mistake, the M2 WILL have bucket seats (the only other option would be a bench seat ... lol). But just no guarantee of a carbon fiber option.

Interesting affirmation, I couldn't care less if the back is in carbon fiber or in plastic as long as they old me well and translate what's happening with the chassis to my butt

The tach is analog so is the SportChrono clock on the dash. The dash although digital, looks right and mimics the analog dashes of old. The new BMW design is just a square ipad in front of your face that is not integrated and display is horrendous with very little customization. It may be fine for their EV cars but for the M cars - just looks really out of place. |

The new Nissan Z and BRZ/86 have all digital clusters but they look perfectly integrated and seem to fit the nature of the car. I can’t see how an Ipad screen looks right in a car like M2 when same design is on iX suv. |

Well i guess we have 1-2years left if we want new BMW with integrated dash display. My lease on X3 M40i is up late next year so hopefully the 2023 X3M or X5 still has old dash. I can’t see myself buying new M2 with new layout though.
