Earlier this week some chatter emerged on the BMW forums discussing a potential special edition for the M2's 2017 model year. This follows on quite a bit of chatter concerning the rumored club sport model and a potentially larger motor that may make its way into the M2. 

At least that's what the internet rumor mill has going on for it this moment. 

Turns out that BMW will be building a limited run of M2 that have performance in mind. Or, shall I say "performance." 

For $61,695* you can now order one of 150 units to be built with a coilover suspension, M Performance exhaust and some blacked out trim bits. In addition, there's some decontenting, which I like but I am sure some will raise their brows. That's because this vehicle will forego power/lumbar/heated seats, dual-zone climate control, the Harmon Kardon sound system and a couple other tiny things. 

*Price does not include title, taxes and other fees.

So, what do YOU think, Spies? Should I try to change my order or leave my M2 order as is?

Full details below, which were confirmed by a BMW spokesperson.
