Opening phrase: "The BMW M2 may be the cheapest M car in history".

Yes that is correct in Australia. E36 was the first M3 sold here and it was more expensive than the 1M/M2 (even without adjusting for inflation). 1M was $99,990, and the M2 Pure is $89,990. It's reasonably cheap here relative to other cars.

As Way says, the E36 was $125K when released here in 1994 so the M2 is considerably cheaper in outright terms.
It's a bit disappointing that Motor didn't manage to get any lap and acceleration times due to the poor weather, but they seem a fan of the M2 on local roads which is what matters most to me.

Such a fun car to just use purely as a track beast. If I had to use something, it would be the M2.

The M2 is no way a track beast...! You can make a track beast of it if you spend some money on it (tyres, brakes, suspension, less weight)... The standard M2 shines as a lovely, useable, comfortable, fun daily car that is also good to drive on track (with some brake mods).

People always forget that Australia is ahead in time, not behind. Most don't realise that its not only Tuesday lunchtime, but 2018 here.

Holy buckets! I realize the US version of the E36 M3 was a bit watered down, but I bought mine new in late 1994 for about 36,000 USD. And still own it. That was money well spent. |
