I agree 100% that the M2 needs a serious diet, but the changes need to happen at a fundamental level. The 2-series platform shares too much with the 3-series. Until BMW addresses weight savings as a top priority at a platform (chassis) level, we won't see a lightweight M2.

(I'm not saying it's not possible; I'm saying CFR and mirrors aren't the solution)
