Both great cars but for different purposes. Love the GT4 but I can't imagine it as my daily. Hope to add one to my garage some day along with my M2 and some other fun toys

I have a 6MT M2 on order, going through the Panama Canal now. I'm British, but moved to the US 6 years ago. I'd driven manual my whole life before moving here, and then had an auto because the car I bought wasn't available in manual. I'm so looking forward to going back to manual, but also a little apprehensive because I've never driven a LHD manual!
Shifting with my left hand is all I've ever done.... Hope the transition is easy enough. Please don't let this thread turn into a manual vs auto discussion, my point was about the hand used to shift!

Nice car the GT4 but prefer to get the 1M out of the garage than the GT4. No real difference in day to day performance and I find the GT4 just a bit on the hard side for regular road use
On the track a different story |

I think you could DD the GT4, but the clutch is heavy, that would be the only issue.
I think - for the UK- the prices on the GT4 will come down slightly and I'm seeing the same trend as the 1M just before the M2 was released, everyone started panic selling there 1M's and there were plenty for sale and prices were down about 5k. Then the M2 came along, it wasn't Ltd, it wasn't as special as the 1M and the price of the 1M has gone up again. There is a new GT4 on the horizon and rumoured to have a naturally aspirated engine and a pdk/manual option, if it's Ltd like the 2016 GT4 and if it is N/A then the prices will drop,if it's not Ltd and not manual then I think the GT4 value will go up again. I'm really happy with this car and regardless of the price going up or down il be going to the track with it and il be using it not storing it! |

Willing to bet that if BMW but 40K more into the M2, it would be a different car but then, would anyone buy it?

Congrats OP.
I just sold my GT4 and my M2 is being delivered in January. If i didn't love my track car (and the relatively low operating cost of it) I'd have kept the GT4. Absolutely no complaints about it. It was my fun, weekend car, but moving on to something with a backseat (M2), so my wife and toddler can come along. Enjoy in good health!

For the same motor in the 991.1s the 40k service which includes oil change, air filter and spark plugs is 1095. |

It is not as easy to get at the engine in the Cayman, might have to drop the engine down slightly to get at the plugs.

Comparing a M2 vs GT4 is stupid and makes no sense (sports/track car VS sports sedan)... M2 GTS vs GT4 would make sense...but the GT4 is a way bigger compromis then the M2...the M2 is in my opinion the best of all worlds and does everything good (for that price). M2 is the perfect "one car" in the garage...that does a lot!

The intermediate service is more than just the oil change. It included changing numerous filters, etc. Labor is also a large part of it. It didn?t need it, but since it sits so much it has been two years and this was the next scheduled maintenance.

I am like you guys in that I like cars. I like the M2 and it has a great stance and looks excellent . I used to have an M4 and an E92 M3 before that. I definitely like BMWs and follow the following forums: M2, M3/M4, rennlist, and audizine.

Appreciate your view. My view is that NO car doesn't depreciate. The gt4 is due to depreciate because it is relatively overpriced. A 2011 turbo has already ridden far down the depreciation curve. A better driver's car is relative, of course the turbo is more of a gt, but it is much faster than a gt4. And it can take kids in the backseat...
