Though the 2016 BMW M2 offers design features close to the BMW M235i coupe, it is undeniably evocative of the fabled 1 Series M coupe and even the classic E30 M3.
Which, fortunately enough, are both featured in the global debut video of this high-powered, low-riding, compact new sports coupe. Take a look and see if you can spot them.
If you've been wishing for the close, compact feel of a coupe, with the powerful performance of a coupe, but pricing listed expectedly less than the rest of the M Series lineup, the 2016 BMW M2 might be a great bet for you in Irondale, AL.
Fuel economy estimates nor price has yet been released for this exhilarating new model, but we do know that it will land at Tom Williams BMW in spring of 2016 with bells on. And by bells, we do mean a 3.0L twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine with 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque. The first-ever M2 will also sprint from 0 - 60 in about 4.2 seconds and chomps at the bit at a screaming 155 mph.
We do have a few more months to wait until the 2016 BMW M2 joins the new model lineup, but at least it will be a very exciting few months.
