5x114.3 is actually imperial 5x4.5" and is less desirable than a true metric based PCD. |

Thank you Len and CDN
With regard to the topic, I can be as critical as the next guy when it comes to certain BMW upper management decisions . . . but are we really getting to the point where the 'bolt pattern' is a point of contention? ///AVM |

It's still peculiar that they decide to do this now after years of 5x120. Instantly making all the wheels available up til now obsolete. |

As someone who was an early adopter for the m235 (wife drove one back in 2015 for a year or so) I'm not sure that "ugly design" is a new feature for the 2 series lol! The M version does look pretty good, but otherwise it's always been the worst looking coupe in the BMW lineup. By far.

it's funny - the 4 back has always felt too elongated /long for me. the balance has always felt off to me. this is why it's nice to have options! |

Agreed! Although, if the G42 grows a few inches, it'd be the perfect combination of G interior and F kidney grills...

Another interesting observation - the 2 (vs the 4) is more popular as a track weapon, but the M4 CS is faster around a track than the M2 CS...

Also, comparing a "GTS" model to a "CS" model you have to consider what that means. From what I've read about the hierarchy, it's generally M Sport < M < M Competition < M CS < M GTS. The M2 CS seems to be a M2C with some carbon fiber bits added and some other goodies, but honestly not THAT far off from a M2C. It's still something that could function as a daily. If you've seen a M4 GTS ... it it practically a race car. No back seats, racing seats in front, roll bar, harsh harsh ride. In short, the only folks buying one of these uses it exclusively as a track car. |

But the M2 is STILL the most bestest ///M ever, the spiritual successor to the E46 M3 which was also the most bestest ///M ever and the M4 is a fat cow no matter what your silly numbers say. So there. |
