As is, I'm eager to see it in person to see how some questionable lines really look.
TD said:But, on looks alone, that pic does not rule out an M2 as a future purchase.

I'm sure the DBW will :tsk:

We'll see how it's programmed. Since there will likely not be another non-DBW throttle vehicle developed, it alone cannot rule out a car for me. I have to hope they manage to program it to work like a mechanical throttle.
Granted the DBW throttle was a HUGE strike in my mind against my 330i, it was far from the ONLY complaint I had. But a small, light, nimble 240HP I-4 M2 with good steering feel and a hearty amount of NVH sounds appealing. Basically, I want a new E30 M3. I understand BMW will never build a car quite as close to that car as I'd like, but I'm hoping this one comes close.

At least it will have VALVETRONIC :thumb:
I remember that you always complained about the clutch feel/take-up as well. I thought my mom's 330 was aweful about it when it only had a few thousand miles. Now at 20K+, it feels almost exactly like my clutch :dunno:

M2 would be a coupe...
Looking at the "rumored" line-up, I wonder where M2 would fit if BMW does indeed make the Z5 coupe...Both would be lightweight and most likely using the same 2.0 liter, 240HP engine. Both would be two door coupes (I think the Z5 would be a "hatchback") and both would be priced very similarly.
