That said, make a M2 that weighs under 3000 lbs NA motor like the E30 M3 did and BMW can take my money.
Fixed that for you. That said, I just can't see myself buying a brand new vehicle anytime soon.
I'd much rather have a 3.2L spinning up to 8500 rpm in a M2, than a twin turbo 3.0L, even if the turbo has more torque and peak power.
