Not bad for a car with 10mm narrower tires and more weight than an M4.
Front and rear track of the M2 are within 0.1" of the M4, wheelbase is 5" shorter.
I'd imagine that the MP suspension kit and M4-sized tires would close the gap.

Looking forward to reading reviewers' comments on the EPS.
Some F-generation owners have complained about "lack of steering feel."
Because, after all, these are road cars and daily driving is how we'll experience them 99.8% of the time.

Can You show us where you got that it weighs more than an M4?

I stand corrected. I thought the M4 coupe was only ~3400 lb. Nope.
The M4 coupe is exactly 90 lb. heavier than the M2 with same transmission.
Just for the record:

M2 weights

DCT: 3505 lb.
6MT: 3450 lb.

M4 coupe weights

DCT: 3595 lb.
6MT: 3540 lb.

Ah, ok. I don't like the way people have stated the Euro (German) way of stating weight. You know with the luggage and 75 kilo human weight (or is it the 75 kilos in luggage and human?)
To me, it should be the weight empty of all luggage, but with all fluids and either a full, half, empty tank. Make it simple.

Yup. The man loves a car that can put the power down and vice-versa

He loved the M235i, so this will be interesting...
