The powertrain was the star of the show in my 16' M3 as well, it just fell apart everywhere else.
From stability/traction control algorithms, to rear-end instability, to poor rebound shock damping tuning, to brakes that would vibrate, to squeaks in the cabin.
I had my SS 1LE and M3 together for 3 weeks before my lease turn in on the M3 and there is no doubt on paper they are close, but driving them back to back the M3 feels quite a bit quicker. The feel of the powertrain from the DCT to the motor , it was sublime, but that is where the advantages ended.
I know we are talking M2 here, but the M2 still suffers from a lot that the M3 did, just not so much so and on a shorter wheel base.
