When Does The 2 Er Debut

Hey anyword on the 2 series, I know I have asked this before but...this is an extttttttttttttremly important car. IMHO more important than the M3, because this is a car that will make BMW more profit, and it brings in new customers....I have been reading and they did say it was going to be introduced at Geneva...well here we go....thanks in advance.

Okay it looks like BMW had nothing more to offer thn the M3 which is a great halo car without a doubt....but I thought they had planned to debut the new 2 series....so it begs to question are the waiting for The september auto show....or is it just not ready...with the dollar weak as it is or could it be they don't want to steal sales this early from the 335i because if they put the 335 twin turbo in the 2 series they are gonna have a winner..for sure.

Well they have this week to introduce it, but I got a funny feeling they aren't going to do it. I read a few weeks ago, the reason BMW got rid of the last CEO was because he product starved the company, even though he was responsible for sales increases and massive profits, he wasn't a product guy, and all the new cars BMW introduced on his watch was from the previous CEO, and he didn't want to bring the 1er to the U.S. The 60 yr rule was their cover but they said he wasn't the guy to continue to lead BMW. The new guy is a product guy. We will see.

interesting. if that car comes out (235i) it will have the best performance potential of any BMW ever made... light, twin turbo i6, coupe, BMW, what more could you ask for?
