Lol. I knew that was gonna bite me in the A$$. What I meant is that it’s an engine built specifically for the “m” division, did not mean to imply the m2 isn’t a proper “m” car. 
Also my discount isn’t off “base” it’s off a msrp if 61890, which wouldn’t be too far from a m2 CS price perhaps (who knows for sure though) |
I mean it is and isn't. Here's the thing. Are you sure you like the S55? it's not for everyone. I thought for sure I'd walk out of the dealership with an M3 but the S55 is not a motor I find appealing. While the N55 is less special there is definitely some M magic going on there such that I get feelings of older M cars when driving it.
So then you're down to interiors. For me I cannot stand how the f3x and X SUVs have that stupid high gloss material everywhere that scratches if you look at it too hard. I'm not sure why this equates to a better interior. More shiny stuff ?
The seats look a hell of a lot cooler but feel pretty much the same to me. Better off going with a sportster CS or other aftermarket seat.
