Yeah.. I had exactly the same thought..!
Especially since the M2 isnt really a slim baby.. the cars weight is 3,461 lbs and in that sense in no way comparable with the 2002. I wonder why BMW didnt invest some more effort to reduce the weight of the car.. ?! The know-how with CFRP (Carbon) is there right?!?!?! Just imagine how the performance of the car would have benefit from less weight..

On the other hand I really like how BMW reconnects their new cars with their history.. I barely see other auto makers doing that at major auto show!
