Images may have recently emerged online showing a BMW M2 Convertible, but according to sources within the company, there’s no chance of seeing the model come to fruition.
According to BMW Blog who has been in contact with sources from the marque, there aren’t any plans for a drop-top M2 to be launched, backing up BMW‘s previous statements that such a model wasn’t on the cards.
Although there’s an M4 and an M6 open top, BMW is targeting purists with its baby M car and doesn’t think these buyers would find a convertible appealing. Thus, the M235i Convertible will have to suffice for buyers who want to combine an open-top driving experience with reasonable levels of performance.
On the plus side, the automaker is planning something around the M2 – and it’s a lot more exciting than a chop top. According to reports, a souped-up GTS version is in the works and will adopt more power, aerodynamic upgrades and less weight.
