[Rumor] 2016 BMW M2 is coming

[Mook]

We've recently learned from multiple inside sources (who have been accurate in the past) that the BMW M2 is a go!

The M2 start of production is said to be scheduled for late Fall 2015, which places the first deliveries at the very end of 2015 or early 2016.

Confirming what we reported earlier, we've been told that the M2 will be powered by the N55 turbo inline 6 engine (N55B30T0), producing around 370-380 PS (365-375 HP).

BMW M reportedly also considered a "S48" engine for the M2, presumably an inline four cylinder turbo derived from the (future) B48 engine family. For whatever reason, this engine did not make the cut and we know now that the N55 inline six engine will power the M2.

The code nickname for the M2 is "pyrat2." Why pyrat2? If you recall, the 1M coupe's nickname was "pyrat."

The model code for the M2 will be F87. We do not expect a limited production cycle as the 1M experienced.

It still looks oddly proportioned to me. The front end is all sorts of sex though and I have a giant boner for anything with the turbo 6 in it.

The N55 is a twin scroll single turbo. It won't go as far on the stock turbo as the TT cars but in that body with that horsepower I imagine most won't care.

I like the look of this better than anything else BMW right now - maybe just a great picture

Holy shit if that's what it looks like, that is FUCKING AWESOME. I need to get a promotion before this car is released.

other than for sales, is there any reason they couldnt get the m3 engine in this thing?

For sales If this car had the same engine as the M3, it would vastly outperform it and nobody would buy the M3/M4.

Seriously, thing is hot. I'm guessing it will fetch a hefty price

Probably around the same price as the 1M, which I think was $50k.

Says he needs a promotion to afford M2...Drives an Audi R8 currently.

Would be hard to justify an R8 and M2 to the fiance without some sort of large pay increase!

Good grief that is a sexy beast. 10/10, would own.

I just showed this to my wife, and she says it doesnt have enough power. "why do you get a car with 600 hp and i get one with only 375" she says

Unfortunately I think BMW has always made their fastest car the one with the highest sticker price. M6 > M5 > M3
