I spent 5 years planning and aiming to buy a 2016 GT4. After I drove a friends I found it wasn't "for me". I drove an M2 and LOVED it, and felt the M2 CS was the perfect blend of what I was looking for - something a little special, and something I didn't have to screw around with. I have my E36 M if I want to tinker, and I have my F30 for comfort. The CS will be fun for track, and great for charity events etc. When it comes to resale it'll do better than a modded M2 of any vintage. So why not. My F30 is all MPerformanced up, and that does nut-all for it's value and desirability for anyone but me. I'm absolutely 100% BMW's perfect target with the CS.

When I was shopping I had heavily looked at the GT350, and ZL1 Camaro as options with backseats, and frankly much more performance for less. But the size and cheap interiors did nothing for me. Used AMG GT-S's are in the price range as well. Plenty of used 911's and Cayman's in the space too. So it's all about what you want to spend or want. Cars are largely emotion based purchases, and trying to argue it's factual can be a bit farcical.
