No regrets. Of the street-driven cars I've owned, if it's not my favorite, it's in the top three.

Unless things have changed, it seems like the 2 (1 in my case) series in general is a tough one to test drive. In 2011 I wanted to test drive a 135i. The local dealerships only had 1 each and those were automatic transmissions, didn't have the M-Sport package, and so on. I test drove one just to get an idea of general fit and feel, but knew I was taking a leap of faith on the manual transmission.
For the M2 I figured the fit and feel wouldn't be that different than the 135i I had (which it is not). The dealer did have an M2 on the floor when I ordered so I was able to sit in it. They were not doing test drives, though, and it was DCT so test driving a manual wasn't happening.
No regrets, though. Love the car.
