I think it's a given that an M2 will be built to replace the wildly popular 1M. Thanks again to Dr Kay Siegler for giving the world a new Smaller M Car.
It may take until 2016 for the car to get here but it will come. 4 or 6 cylinder, still too early to say?
Our 1M's however will go down in the BMW History Books as low production Test Mule vehicles that paved the way for a new segment of smaller, lighter M cars. Our cars are 1 of 740, (739 total officially licensed) total cars to the USA whereas the M2 will sell thousands of examples. The M2's will surly be great cars, but they won't be 1M's.
