BMW will build an M2, but fortunately, it’s not the one you see in these renderings. Production of the BMW M2 Coupe will start this November, but we may see it as a pre-production concept at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.
Now, for this variant you see in the photos, the M2 Gran Tourer, it’s just a design exercise from Photoshop manipulator X-Tomi which shows what BMW M would do to the new 2-Series Gran Tourer if it wanted to.
While a BMW M2 Gran Tourer would definitely look better than the standard model, it would be rather pointless, because when someone buys a seven-seat MPV, it chooses it because it’s comfortable and practical, not because it can go 100 mph through corners and is the fastest compact MPV round the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
However, a BMW M5 Touring is a completely different discussion and I hope the folks from BMW M will consider it for the next-generation model.
