Would you trade your M2 for a M4??

imyourmaster · 01-24-2017, 03:30 PM

Very interested to hear what you guys think. Let's hear it!

Side note - I currently own a 2017 M2 and I'm considering trading it in on a 2015 M4 coupe, under 6000 miles on the odometer and a Dinan package making 530hp.

Joaozao · 01-24-2017, 03:35 PM

I wouldn't trade it for an older already modified car. But that's just me.

BruceM · 01-24-2017, 03:46 PM

Nope. But I would buy a Dinan kit for my M2

Jevi Javi · 01-24-2017, 03:48 PM

no way...

If horsepower is what you're after...Dinan M2 big turbo at 446 hp vs Dinan M4 at 530 hp.

Regardless, my M2 is stock. I had a stock M3 sit on me like flies on a pile of s*** the other day.... I HATED it!!

? On track ? On the street?

Is more hp what YOU are after ? Why are you concerned about a Stock M3 being quicker?

It's not like the zero to 60 times for each car stock aren't provided in the literature.

DivideBYZero · 01-24-2017, 04:33 PM

Nope. I don't like the way the M4 handles.

Go check out the lap time section in the m3/m4 forums. There are several M2s in the top 3 spots on several different tracks.

It was on the street on a pretty nice long straight section. I know fully well the M2 can be quicker on a track than the M4. Yes, I love horsepower as long as it's usable.

Are you looking to drag race or do long drives on the highway? If so you got the wrong car. If you're looking for fun on the track and in the twisties you have the right car. Need the right tool for the right job.

It's ok... everything in here is sublimely artificial

SoCalRob · 01-24-2017, 05:07 PM

Nope. To me, the M4 feels big, heavy and ponderous.

I think of the M4 as a luxury car that goes from point A to B like a bat out of hell, but struggles to make the journey enjoyable.

The M2 is beautifully and delightfully balanced - the M4 is not. -scr

atxsk8r · 01-24-2017, 05:12 PM

No way for a used one, maybe new but i'm not ready to drive a boat around just yet

What if you get that M4 and then race an M5, get beat. You going to trade in the M4 now? LOL always going to be faster cars out there.

ChrisK · 01-24-2017, 05:21 PM

Hell no!

I had an e92 M3 (that was big enough), the M4 got bigger.

The M2 is the perfect size.

Of course, there are a lot of fast cars. I'm only interested in a M2 - M4 comparison. Each car shines in certain aspects and there is no clear winner. They are both great cars and unique in different ways. Interestingly enough, I posted the same question on the M4 forum and 99% of the M4 owners will not give up their car for a M2!

Only because they can't get one and don't want the values of their m4s to depreciate any more!
Drive and decide.

BEM-S4 · 01-24-2017, 05:37 PM

For what it's worth (not that they make one yet) but I think an M2, an M4 GC and some sort of SUV and you'd have a pretty ideal garage that you'd have the perfect machine at your disposal no matter what you needed on any given day.

No Boost · 01-24-2017, 05:44 PM

The 530 HP is misleading. Dinan measures a stock F8x at 484 HP. Upgrade to stage 3 with the aftercooler. It's beastly. That should hold you over until their big twin turbo stage 4 is released.

Then you have supercar killer.
