You will never get an answer to this question on this forum. Everyone here is giving their best effort, but we've all posted endless posts that are filled with confirmation bias on this subject.
You need to test drive both if you want to make a decision. Test driving an M car of any variety means getting above 3k RPM's and getting out of traffic if possible. Even then you won't really get it until you've had the car for a while. Every M I've driven is more than the sum of its paper stats like 0-60 and almost every pro/con is subjective.
BUT! EVERY version of the M2 is stellar. Whichever one you choose, you're getting one of the best cars on the market.
Best wishes on your hunt!
