I would wish your words come true. But I highly doubt NA 2.0L engine will come out for a street use with 275bhp. Even if it does....the warranty will never work for 100.000km. They should rather focus on a stock M1 car, but put it down to around 1300kg and put finally some proper brakes. Single piston sliding calipers are disgrace already!
