If I understand the OP correctly, for some unfathomable reason the M2 is not available in manual in Portugal... though I get the impression it is in pretty much every other country. That would pretty much suck!
Finally got a chance to sit in a M2 this past week... and I saw nothing that I was not happy with. I really liked the raw CF, after having doubts with the mixed reviews on here. It was not as luxurious as the M4 interior... but it gave me the impression of qood quality and functionality, which together with the knowledge of all the wonderful hidden quality under the hood under the skin was plenty for me. Plus it is perfectly proportioned! |

What kind of driving do you do most of the time? Highway id take the 440 (probably get a GC) and not think twice. Around town, twisties, track M2. Like others have said two completely different things.

I wouldn't get too wrapped around the axle about the transmission. I was a manual guy for years. Drove numerous LS1 Fbodies, LS2 GTOs/Vettes, STI, Shelby GT500, Audi S4/5; all with manuals.
My car prior to getting the M2 was a 981 Boxster S with PDK. My first automatic ever. What an awesome transmission! I am sure I would have loved the manual too, but PDK killed. The speed of the shifts, whether in auto or manual mode, was crazy. I traded the Porsche for the M2 with DCT and so far so good. First impressions: PDK is better than DCT; DCT is light years ahead of the ZF8 I have driven in the 335/340. The DCT is still a lot of fun. Factor that in with the handling, brakes and looks of the M2, and it was a no brainer for me. |

Why would you get rid of the blue stitching?? That's the best part about the M2 interior!

IMO the 4 series is a boat and I don't care what motor they put in there. I will never own an f3x or f8x for that reason. You either like a long wheelbase car or you don't.

I drove the 435i, it's a comfortable and natural GT that doesn't really excite the driver. Very easy to do long miles in. I imagine the 440i is similar in character.
