Anyway... has the M2C done anything to change the way it sounded in my F80? None to test drive close. I ask because of the comments above saying it sounds as good as the N55. If not its OG M2 for me.
I test drove both back to back last February. The sound of the OG LCI was better to my ears and was the deciding factor for me...plus I saved thousands by going with a car that sounded better to me. But I would have been more than thrilled to buy a new M2C, both cars are amazing. I don't see how anyone could not enjoy either.

But sound is subjective, so I really think you should find a way to test drive both before making a decision. If you can't, and sound is your top priority, then go OG...I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about how the OG sounds.
