I was in this spot too, having fell in love with the OG M2, but waited long enough that the M2C was on the showroom floors.
Here's my take on it.
Pro's for the OG M2:
- less expensive
- more of a classic BMW front end
- better looking wheels (437M vs 788M)
- standard brakes that don't get rocks trapped in between the caliper and wheel barrel
- sounds much better
- more low-end torque feel
- less maintenance, especially as the car ages
- no crank-hub failures
- stock exhaust looks and sounds amazing, no need to change like on the M2C
Pro's for the M2C:
- I like the way the seats look, but they aren't any more comfortable [to me]
- I like the extra power
So, for me it was an easy choice. Now, if I had a bunch of extra money burning a hole in my pocket and also wanted to track the car here and there it would have been a different story.
