MotorTrend interviewed BMW M CEO Dr. Friedrich Nitschke where he confirms that the new BMW M3 and BMW M4 will make their public debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
In the same interview Dr. Nitschke reassures the demanding M customers that the “the new M3 will have one of the best engines†M has ever have ever built.
Will there ever be an M2 model? Though the concept has never been greenlighted, Dr. Nitschke leaves the door open for the possible M2 and its name. “There’s no decision yet. But I absolutely want to develop a successor model to the 1 Series M Coupe. I have all the components I need – the powertrain, chassis. In the near future you will know. We can’t call it the M1, because that number is for the special mid-engined car, but there is M2, isn’t there?”
