Can't agree on that one. I drove an M4 with a performance exhaust just last week. Still sounds like a raspy bucket of bolts, only louder.
Seriously, it gets better when it's warm, and higher up the rev range it's nice and loud, but still not as good as a stock M2 exhaust. I think that those of us who want to duplicate as close as possible the feeling they got from their E36 and E46 cars will lean toward the M2. Those who want a bigger car with mostly better numbers and all the "technology" BMW has developed since then will lean toward the M3/M4. I know what camp I'm in. |

Sure, but if you look at every car review where both are discussed, literally every single one has said that the M2 was more fun. Does that mean the M4 isn't fun? No. But it's a wide consensus says the M2 is more fun, you have a right to disagree and have your own opinion, but if you deny that that's what the consensus is, then I'd say you're wrong.

Good read OP. My GT4 is set for Euro Delivery in July. If you want to ever hang out with a couple other GT3/4 & M owners in the area drop me a line.

But are you seriously trying to say that you can't see why someone would choose an M2 over your car? Or are you saying that you personally wouldn't?

Hmm all depends on how you like to drive. If I had a GT4 and M3 I wouldn't know what to choose when I got into the garage!
I was reading articles and watching reviews about the M2 being a very easy car to drive. Easy to throw the tail around and get loose. I opted for the M3 for Three big reasons, looks better, more functional, and the simply the name M3. A lot of history, and class come along with the car. The M2 is a great price point to buy the car, but if you're looking to lease, you might as well just get an M4 or M3. I wouldn't mind having an M3, GT4, M2 and a X6 M sitting in my garage;-) BMW makes great cars, but as a side note I have noticed in the last couple years they've cheapened a lot of materials in the car. The leather on my M3 is awesome, but other than that the dashboard, and interior controls seem very cheap. A lot of creaking and squeaking coming from them, and that never happened with my 2012 135i, or 2011 328i. All in all greatest daily drivers you could possibly own. M2 or M3 you're going to have a blast!

I love the M2 it looks great, and the reviews re the drive are great, but I sat in one today and the deal breaker for me is the leather, probs not a big deal to others, but I can't stand that leather! it's the normal leather I think that's why, not the stuff in the M4, I don't know if I could deal with that and the fake carbon, they do look great though

Alex come on, there is no definition of 'more fun'.... There is no right and wrong here, it's about what you're looking for in a car.... Cheers Robin |

What an individual thinks is up to them and they are always right with their opinion. I wasn't saying what you're making it sound like. I've always been perpetrating that message, I'm not sure why you're assuming that now I am not.

The way I see it, "more playful" works for the M2, while "more planted" works for the M3/4, based off the totality of the reviews given thus far. But I have yet to drive the M2, so I will leave my own subjective spin out for the moment.
