If you love sports cars, and have people or stuff to lug around (or don't).. there honestly isn't much else out there that can match it, for the price. Much prefer it to the M4, and the Supra for that matter. Only thing I can think of is the new Cayman GTS 4.0 coming but even that is going to be tens of thousands of dollars more and still wouldnt offer 4 seats. M2 really does tick most boxes. lastly... M2>M2C.

I know I'm responding to a comment from a couple of months ago, and..

On 18 wheels with snow tires, my M2 felt LESS complaint and rode worse than the stock 19s. I was always amazed by this.

Same with my M3 with the same wheels and tires.

So maybe it is/was the snows? Either way, trying 18" wheels on the M2 OG would be a good thing for someone to try if they didn't like the ride.

I felt the same thing on my Q5, suspension seemed to be less compliant on OEM 18inch/snow tires than on summer RS5 20inch wheels.

I always wondered at what point does the springs and dampers are tuned to the weight of the OEM wheels and tires..
