Bmw M2
I read a while back in motortrend or one of those magazines that BMW is coming out with a new 2 series and M2.. has anybody heard anything about this? i am trying to find out when they are supposed to be out.
Thanks.

If it is happening, it'll likely be a long way off. If I remember right, the 2 series was supposed to be the coupe version of the 1 series. However, there isn't a coupe version of the 1 series yet, let alone an M version. I doubt it would be called the 2 series anymore, BMW did away with the new naming conventions. I'd rather see them bring the 1 series over here and give us an M form.

I love how BMW uses numbers for their models. It's like, here we'll make it easier for everyone to judge how important you are.

I just got back brom Europe(a few different places) and saw the 1-series all over the place. I have to say, i have always thought it was OK in pics...some cool lines and interesting curves in an awkward shape...
However, the car looks, IMHO, great in person. Many of it's complex styling elements just don't show temselves in print or in pixels...and i saw a few of the M-Sport models too( one on the street, one in the Berlin BMW showroom) and thew both looked pretty hot.
Worth the $$? Prolly not. Am in into the hatch? Nope. But for what it is, it's pretty cool
And based on how the thing went around a track with J.Clarkson behind the wheel, it seems to really drive like a bimmer...
