The original BMW M3 was aimed right at our hearts– light, tight and powered by a high-winding engine. Since then, the M3 has gotten even faster, but it’s no secret that it’s also gotten heavier and more complicated.
Now that the manufacturer has released an M version of their new 2 Series coupe, we have a message for BMW: Welcome …
and if they had it in a 5-door hatchback, I'd be buying one.
I'd love to see how this does on an autocross course. I recall some thinking that the 135 would be the car to have in its SCCA stock class -- but the turbo lag, though hardly noticeable on the street, drove at least one autocrosser I know to distraction.
That looks good...
The small styling changes from the 1 make it much less polarizing. Estoril Blue with the reddish leather is a pretty sweet combo...I don't think I'm a "new turbo BMW" type purchaser though.
