My take:
--Fantastic new inline 6 engine (B58/S58) available!!! (Unlike Mercedes and others with 4s). More hp/tq than current M2.
--6MT (manual) transmission available in M2 (almost no other manufacturer is doing this!). Thank you BMW!!!
--Adaptive suspension option.
--Normal BMW grill ... NO BEAVER BUCK TOOTH GRILL!!!
--Power dome...cool!!!
---M mirrors
---Carbon fiber roof option on M2
---Single headlights like the 2002 ...cool!!!
---Hoffmeister kink!
---Cool retro Thundernight Metallic!!! Like my '98 Technoviolet M3.
My guess is that IN PERSON the car looks even better.
More power, 6MT, better tech, better suspension. Sign me up!
