How’s this for edgy?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“German media is reporting the recently introduced BMW M2 Coupe is going to be discontinued in 2020.
The news comes from bmwarchiv.de , a reputable source in this business and the report issued states the M2 will be phased out in 2020. It means production will span over the course of up to five years at the Leipzig factory where BMW also assembles the 1-Series five-door, 2-Series Coupe & Convertible, 2-Series Active Tourer, and the i3 & i8 duo.
While the 1-Series M Coupe was offered in limited quantities, sources close to BMW are saying its successor could reach a total production run of as much as 11,000 cars. If we do the math, it means up to 2,200 units will be produced on average each year during the model’s entire lifecycle. ”
And......go!
Now, if this is true, the world and outside forces beyond my control of which I’ve none, have once again ruined my plans. Making the unattainable even more unattainable, AGAIN. Because we all know damn well this will more than likely be a hit, values will be high for it forever and it’ll be the new new E30.
What do the rest of you peasants and plebs think?

The only way to solve this? Buy a Toyota Corolla. Resign yourself to boring cars.

...to be replaced with a FWD crossover, the M145ixs Gran Dynamics Efficienter-i.

Five years sounds like a pretty long production run for an M-car. I would have expected something like 3 years.
But weren’t the E90/E92 M3 produced in relatively high numbers? I see a glut of them on eBay, Autotrader and even Craigslist. Trading in the $30k area they are very, very attainable by M-car standards.
With a similar production run, the M2 could see the same market forces in the future if that’s really the droid you’re looking for.

I think it’d be called the BMW XM230xis Gran Electro Coupover-i1.

That is correct. The 2 will become FWD/AWD. Their naming will probably not be that cool though
