To be honest the M2 wasn't even on my radar. On paper, it was so close to the M3/M4 I wasn't expecting the price to be remotely affordable.
So it was a big surprise to see how they've made it 60k cheaper than the M4. And I understand they had to take a lot of things off the table - leaving only the essentials. But in doing so, it made the car closer to M's original roots.
I think you can definitely dress it up a bit more to make it more upmarket - but based on resale value of Australian cars, options are worth zilch when u sell, so it is probably better to get the M3/M4 if you want a more upmarket spec.
FWIW I prefer the lower powered engine in the M2 in the way it rewards revving to the redline. The M3 didn't feel as rewarding to rev up. YMMV.
