Not even remotely interested.

Not hating, but I want a 6 Speed.

I already have a heavy, bloated all wheel drive; i4 M50. If I was looking to replace that with ICE...

Interesting. I still think the car will need more M badges.

Oh. Wasn’t aware of that.
When did that happen?
Did that start with the new M5?

Otherwise go all out: M2 M xDrive M Sport, or something.
It will be called just M2 xDrive

I mean...I wrote about it in 2023 Nothing really new. After it comes out, I will tell more of the M2 xDrive story and how it started. And a small role I played in it.

Do you know when it's likely to start production? I was hoping for model, and not calendar, year 2026 but that article hints at late 2026 which means early 2027 before any reach the UK. Thanks again.

Second this.
The only reason I didn’t go for the full M2 is because of xdrive and because of the waiting times back in 2023 for them. I wonder what position the xdrive m2 will be in BMWs lineup as there’s a lot of commonness amongst the lineup. Considering weight and all compared to the M4, the M2 xDrive seems like the option to go for, for a sporty ‘pocket rocket’ coupe from BMW

Yes, I did hear it was going back and forth a little over the past year or 2 from various sources (even a 6 series coupe revite of sorts possibly replacing M4 and M8 coupes except maybe an M4 convertible).

I assume it's mostly chatter but anything is possible in these uncertain times. I'm just sitting back and watching it all unfold from my ever-changing driver's seat

Edit: 2024 is more than 1/2 over so it would be surprising to see an M2 xdrive Prototype before 2026. It would be nice though. I wouldn't mind seeing this one come to life (but I'm not ready to drink the EV Kool Aid just yet. It would have to be an ICE car or light-weight hybrid at best)

Thanks Horatiu! lol

Awesome. I would buy a M2 xdrive. It will be a great platform to modify with some big power. I’m over the new BMWs being heavy which is the norm nowadays. The modern manual BMWs are clunky and not an option I would personally choose. Personally, I would get a lotus emira or older gen Porsche if I wanted a lighter manual driver’s car.

Are people really going to drive a 4,200lb automatic M2 just to have xDrive? Why not just get an M4 at that point?

People have been lining up for a 4k lb Corvette for a couple years now, so this isn't shocking at all.

Where'd you get 4,200 . Should be around 3900-4000 lbs with X-drive
