2015 BMW ///M2 revealed! (Sort of)

I thought I'd bring my finding over to this side of the forum.

Looks like their sources say its going to use a detuned S55....interesting.

Can anyone post the text to full article? The preview only covers the first page and they conveniently stop on that page with "the catch" having something to do with weight.

Digital version is out on iPad today but I don't have an iPad.

Yes indeed. I just pointed this out in the other "thunder and lightning" post on this forum. If the S55 is in the M2 that's a game changer. It means massive tuning potential but at the cost of a great exhaust note. The exhaust note on the M235i Racing Car with a modified exhaust is hands down more sweet than the S55's exhaust note. But who cares right?

Won't be S55. 100% Known.

Now it should be quite easy to swap to S55, but then, swap SS5 into M2 or swap GT3 engine into Cayman? Maybe the second.

Very very misleading title. Completely wrong photoshop and we know about the N55

+1 It seems that they did not check the September 2014 M2 test mule sightings.

0-62mph dropped further to 4.2s. By next week it will be 3.5s.
