Autocar says it will be a new engine, S57 B30, also going into 6th gen 7 series (b57)..

Did they mean B58 and S58?

I mean can no one actually pay attention to what the prototypes look like? The front end shown here is another beefed up m235. How hard is it to base it off the camo prototypes that everyone has seen?! Doesn't lend much credibility to the rest of the article.

And this new engine? I though we already confirmed N55B30T0

+1. Is there ANY fact in this article, or just someone writing whatever they feel like

Oh god 0-62 in 4.4 would be awesome, 0-60mph then around 4.2, very nice indeed.

And MINI Clubman Hybrid Concept.

I think Scott is saying that news is incorrect. I still think Detroit is a safe bet for the 'concept" unveiling

Not sure how BMW may start sales in 12-15 months from now if they unveil M2 concept in Frankfurt next September.

The car enters production in November , allowing a production model unveiled at the close of the year and on sale for the Spring or early Summer of 2016.
The same as any other M Concept car.

Maybe @ynguldyn can clear it up.

So the production model reveal date is correct. The M2 "concept" reveal date is still speculated to be at the Detroit auto show I guess. This is exciting. The recent buzz about the M2 has picked up again!

There wasn't much time between the 4 Series Concept unveiling and the production model unveiling. Only a few months if I remember correctly. Seeing the M2 concept at IAA in September 2015 and the production model by the end of 2015 would fit the same timeline.

Wow this is exciting. New engine? Lighter? 400bhp? Just when I was saying go for the bigger more expensive M4, this new development may change my mind again.
0-60 i don't care too much about as my M235i is fast enough for me to 60. I can't wait to hear the nurgurgring times, weight, steering feel, lateral g and braking stats. This is awesome!

Just because it's published doesn't mean that it's true. There is more plausible speculation here than anywhere else. This forum is always ahead.
