hey it's Chris from the verge I'm standing in front of the BMW m2 coupe now if your BMW enthusiast or just a performance car enthusiast you're very excited about this car and you have been for a long time it was actually announced back in October this is the first time we're seeing it in the flesh though the reason people are so excited is because over the years the 3-series and now the four series and the m3 and m4 have gotten progressively larger and heavier over time so they're not really the small light performance coupes they used to be the m2 is a smaller car so it gets BMW back to the place that it used to be with the m3 the car has 365 horsepower which is more than the e46 m3 just about a decade and a half ago so you can see how performance kind of changes over time it gets us back to that level it's going to start around 51,000 dollars a little bit over that not bad for what you're getting and it looks beautiful it's so much more shapely than the standard too a lot of fans of the 1m which is the previous version of this car made in very limited numbers a generation ago and now we have this version I think it's a proper successor they did all the right things here looks great inside and out launching this spring in presumably very limited numbers so if you want one move quickly that's it for now from the Detroit Auto Show we are here at the BMW booth but there's gonna be a lot more from all over the floor check out our youtube channel the verge or the verge calm
