I'm getting cautiously optimistic that my 335i may be a trade-in soon...

There are no current plans "in the near future" for an ///M four cylinder engine, but he also said they haven't made any decision on the M2 either. Sounds like they are very early in the M2 planning process, and anything could change. In my mind, this is a wash, and we haven't learned anything new about the M2's potential engine (in fact, the ONLY thing we've really learned about the M2 from this is that ///M hasn't even made a decision on it yet). |

Personally I think the M2 will have a souped up version of the 328i engine like the 1M had a souped up version of the 335i engine.

I chuckled when I read this line

I mean yeah he did not say it, but he was pretty clear. And I don't think it would be wise to formally announce the upcoming M2 when the 235i is not yet on sale. |

I agree. I still feel that it should be an option at least. It probably will in time anyway. Money talks...

I was thinking the same thing...
on another note, this is why BMW needs to go into these other markets that purists are so angry about, to be able to build these iconic M machines... I wish some of these so called hard core fans would just have faith. BMW knows what they are doing...

If you don't want to spend $60k on a 435 and end up jealous of the M4 then spend $85k on an M4. Last edited by caneaddict; 07-19-2013 at 11:00 PM.. |

I was like 90% set on getting an F80 M3 but if the M2 has a six-cylinder engine, it just moved to the top of my short list. |

It's all good news but I'm still not gonna buy one.
Just tired of driving an M3 in winter. It's a PIA. More torque mean's it'll be even worse in snow and winter roads. |

I just had the chance to read the full interview and one part jumped out at me that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet:

I think I6 is only choice on M2. We seen how car magazines likes it, Chris Harris drives M135, he loves the sound of classic BMW inline six engine and BMW knows that more exotic inline six will sell better than std. I4. |

The 1M had a souped up version of the 135i engine, also known as Z4 35is. The M2 will have a souped up version of the M235i engine. I can't see it being an i4 if the M135i/235i are i6s. |
