I can't wait to get my hands on one, I feel like the turbo-charged, combustion motor has now plateaued in power output for the RWD & manual platform and this will be one of the last great all-round packages, before they bow-out and only offer all electric vehicles, in their line-up.
As a result, this one will be a keeper  |
I doubt there will be much a difference mechanically between the S58 in the M2 and M4. Isn't the M2C S55 almost identical to the M4 S55? A simple tune would probably bring it to near parity. The work BMW has done in refining their turbo I6 from N54 > N55 > B58 has been impressive to say the least. I think there's a good chance they'll make at least one more, though.
