I wanted to introduce my new M2 F87. I also print my old M3 E46, just to stay in internet for eternity.
Basically I agree with Obioban opinion except for the sentence “properly centered driver's seat: M3”, which I do not notice. To me the seat is perfectly centered.
To me the M2 F87 feels stronger and more reliable. It is a great sport car.
