In the 1980s, BMW’s lineup of M cars consisted of only three models, the 3 Series, 5 Series, and 6 Series. Three decades later and the M family expanded to include six nameplates and a total of ten versions, including convertible body styles and special-edition models such as the M4 GTS. With the recently introduced M2, the M lineup grew yet again to include 11 models, but the expansion is far from complete.
While M versions of the 1 Series, X1, and X3 are also likely to follow sooner than later, the M2 Convertible is probably the next model to arrive in dealerships. Munich has yet to confirm such a car is in the pipeline, but given both the M4 and the M6 have received cabriolet body styles, a drop-top M2 makes a lot of sense.
Not only would it give BMW enthusiasts access to a proper competitor for the upcoming Audi TT RS Roadster, but it could also give the Porsche Boxster Spyder a reason to worry. With the M2 as quick as the Cayman GT4 in a straight line and capable of a sub-eight-minute lap around the Nürburgring, I’m sure the M2 Convertible will be nearly as impressive as the coupe.
There’s no word as to when the M2 Convertible will arrive, but I expect it to break cover in 2016 and hit dealerships for the 2017 model year.
