Isn't that one interpretation of "further progress"?
I think the M2 is the best selling M car in some jurisdictions, so I would be surprised if we didn't see more generations after the F87. Although, I am a DCT fan, so not sure I would get one anyway.
Don't roast me on the MT/DCT side...I know that's what you are thinking!

Of course there was no internet forum back then for people to complain about it
In more news, BMW South Africa has already stopped making the 3 series after 35 years. Being replaced by the X3, apparently. |
Not complaining - I just think those decisions are interesting to watch. Many would like to see an expansion of the options you can get on the M2, such as having individual paint or whatnot. If they build the M2 in the Mexico plant, and it has those capabilities (not available in the current location), then more people might be tempted to try one.
