"while ensuring the loyalty of 1-Series M owners"

it appears we are part of their target audience

all the M2 promo materials with the 1M in it show the 1M look like some kind of blurred out ghost.....this one is the worst. lol. too fast!?

In the first, perhaps it's a ghost that shall forever haunt the M2.

In the second, it's about to perform the PIT maneuver.

Some minor pluses aside: The new M2 definitely ensures the loyalty of this 1-Series M owner; to his 1M

As someone previously commented: it's because the 1M (with "jr" in its license plate) is lapping the M2. If we get the whole picture, we might notice the (long beach) blue flags.

I got tired of watching the M2 repeatedly pass the 1M in that vid.

PWNED

Said it before and I'll keep saying it: this is the one that re-started it all.

IMO it's already casting a long shadow.

The bi-turbo bastard of M-division is spawning a nice branch of the family tree.

For this shoot ///M Marketing finally agreed with most E82 LCI owners: AEs should have been colour matched with the eyebrows.

^BMW trying to draw up demand, I am sorry, no way the M2 will have the same "wow" factor as the 1M did. I like the M2 and all, but you cannot re-create the 1M soul.
