AWD & Auto are just two more things that most of us will be okay with when the next gen is about to come out as a hybrid. We'll be saying please leave it ICE only so it represents what BMW used to be

Certainly some fair points. I have yet to get over BMW's EPS steering.
But I agree with the others that M2 should remain as the final embodiment of BMW's original brand ethos. The simplicity and back-to-basics approach of the 1/2-series is what many of us love about it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem the G87 will be a particularly light or compact car.
