They need to focus on making the M2 remain the enthusiasts choice, especially since the M3 has drifted away from that title. I actually think the current power figures are also fine and don't need to be increased but they likely will anyways. What I would love is some weight loss, improve the steering, and soften the ride just a tad bit while still keeping the playful and engaging dynamics from the current M2.

This. Unless it gains 400lb like the G8x there is no need for more power. I mean, if you want it, you can tune it (well, if they find a way around Bosch DMEs). But the average enthusiast is going to find 430hp JUST fine. I would kill for lighter weight. One thing that will help is the new BMW M seating position with the carbon bucket. Should be much lower.

Carbon roof
Carbon dash
Carbon spoiler
Carbon skirts
Carbon diffuser
And on and on and on. We get it. You have a massive carbon footprint.

Personally I love having expensive and super glossy "carbon" in areas with direct proximity to rocks and road debris. What could go wrong.
