Considering these new M bimmers are all using the same engine isn't the best thing the 340i M estate with a remap and lots of goodies thrown at it?
A latter day Volvo T5R BTCC estate.... now that would be cool.
I'm getting a bit numb to all these M niche models using same powertrain, so this would be refreshing.
I'd say a 335d M estate with a remap would be even better. More torque, more MPH and its already 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, so quite probably faster once its mapped.A latter day Volvo T5R BTCC estate.... now that would be cool.

Yeah, they doesn't like m4 at all but they like this thing a lot. Now we need to wait m2 vs camaro head 2 head because m4 did get assraped.
At the BTCC at Brands they lined up the M2, M4 and M6. Looking purely at 0-60 times and with blanket 155 vmax limiter, you basically had a choice of size and paid according how much extra space you wanted and the financial steps were significant. Ok it's not quite as simple as that but as a singleton with no kids etc the M2 makes a compelling case and is the aesthetic pick of the bunch to my eye. The proportions, arches and wheels are nothing short of pornographic. Which is actually a disappointing thing to have happen when you've lusted after an M3 basically forever (well, since driving the E36), to find out that an M2 might be better and is more accessible. If the slim chance I'll be in a position to have one actually materialises soon, I'll almost be gutted to not finally be ticking the "M3" box. Damn you, choice.
The next comparison has to be an M2 vs a 1M shirley?

I'm not rich enough to afford any but I think I'd choose the M2 as I prefer smaller cars and it's a 4-seater which would be enough for me.The next comparison has to be an M2 vs a 1M shirley?
I reckon we'll see a few 1M/M2 comparisons, as well as M2 vs RS Focus ( similar release dates ), M2 vs Mustang and M2 vs Boxster. Looking forward to the articles
Even as a massive Porsche fan, with £50k spend I'd take an M2 - plenty quick enough, 4 seats (which you would really need if its your one car), £50k gives you plenty of scope with the options list (which with Porsche only gets you a basic Boxster S or a spec'd up Boxster) and its the closest to a modern day E30 M3.
