I think it would be a good idea if they beefed up the engine a bit, but i dont think they will be very competitive. What about //M cars?? are they going to make an M2 or an M6?? 328isRob 01-15-2002, 09:40 PM I've heard reports that the M3 in 2dr version will be called the M2.. dunno why if under the same pretense they would call a 2dr version of the M5 a M6 instead of a M4.... MMMmmmm Goood. jinushaun 01-15-2002, 11:58 PM I about the M3 coupe to M2 thing, from what I've read, it seems to me that the low end 3ers will be the new 2ers. 3er compact = potential 2er?!? But then you have the 4er being based on the E90 3er. But I guess the 4er will be analogous to the Z3 for the 3er: same platform, different car. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
