After debating for months about what todo at the end of my 235 lease and knowing this was coming out I decided to go M3. My dad has an M2 (pre LCI) and its just brilliant. I cant get over how amazing that car is. My 235 was a phenomenal car too but it lacks that "punch" when your coming out of a turn and floor it.

Im starting to second guess my decision to go M3. maybe its because every new car gets glowing reviews from the press. Im really curious to know what true enthusiast think. I would also love a video comparing the M2 and M2c back to back.

To be honest, those that have a regular M2 will see a slight drop in value but I think time will tell what will be more desirable. the S55 engine has been very controversial. Its the one thing that held me back from the M3/4 for so long..the engine just sounds terrible...Putting an Akrapovic exhaust on is still just putting lipstick on a pig..And NO CAR should have to have a a ~6k exhaust to sound good.

I guess I can stick to my order and if I hate it order a M2c when the dust settles a little bit. I believe this car is in production until 2020?
