Our latest sighting of the BMW M2 (F87) prototype testing on the Nurburgring.

If you haven't been following our M2 info (@ http://www.bimmerpost.com/m2), here's a quick rundown of the info we know (not yet confirmed by BMW):
  • N55 engine producing 370 PS (DIN) (= 365 hp) and 465Nm torque (= 343 lb-ft), featuring "over boost" of +35Nm (25 lb-ft), in low to mid range RPM
  • Prototypes have been tested with both manual and DCT transmissions
  • Launching in 4 colors: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Long Beach Blue, Mineral Grey
  • Launching with 1 interior: BLACK with BLUE accent stitching
  • Confirmed start of production in November 2015

+1. I love the baritone howl this thing has. Don't hear any rasp at all.

I feel like it's only a matter of time before we see the reveal. It could be towards end of the summer, could be next week, but boy does it feel like it's been a long road.

I'm selling my car at the moment so if BMW doesn't offer a DCT option I'm screwed!

Finally now we are getting some consistent new videos. Loving the looks of the was this car is handling. Very tight and responsive. The sound is better than I thought too.

With a November production start when would be a reasonable time frame for deliveries to start? My lease is up middle of December and I'd be interested if the timing worked out.

Looks awesome, sounds good! I don't hear any of the F8x pffft. I'm curious if the manual will receive the rev match feature.

It sure looks to me like it has a big brother M's suspension/dampers/steering. The exhaust note is surprisingly nice for that size of a FI engine as well.

If this thing gets around 8:05 on the 'ring lap time, I will know everything I need to know about it.

Who's recording these videos anyway? Is BMW actually creating artificial hype for this car by slowly "leaking" videos to the public?

Will it have adaptive suspension? Without it, my back and NYC potholes will definitely not get along well...

It sound better than the F8X M3/M4 IMO. 1m ownership will probably keep me away from it but I can't wait to see how it will compare to the rest of the competition.

I'll tell you one thing. That most defiantly sounds like an N55, which sounds significantly better than the engines in the m3/4. :-p
