For those of us that want a quiet daily driver to enjoy Bach on the way to the office with minimal mechanical intrusion, tire of a loud drone cruising at 80mph for hours on end, and/or would like to carry on a conversation with someone while driving, I really do get it. Removing sound deadening is either a misguided candidate for weight loss or a cheap trick to make a car seem more sporting.
Thing is, very few of the reviews I saw even noted the sound level relative to highway driving. Possibly, as a demographic, they were all hairy chested too but I'm hoping the sound level will be tolerable. I mean, it would have taken line spaces away from oddly rabid rants about the rev match but I still think it would have been mentioned if it were really awful. In any case, if it is too loud for a car designed to somewhat evenly split track duties with more mundane pursuits, there is nothing we can do. At this point the alternatives fade and we'll just have to take the M2 for what it is.

I saw the reviews as 50/50 on the road test regarding sound and comfort being an issue. They all loved the manual. They all commented on the firm ride and tire noise on the street test. Some said the ride was too firm and they could hear the tires. Some said the ride was firm but they overlooked it because they loved the manual transmission so much. Others said the ride was firm and had no problem with it and appreciated the suspension quickly "absorbing" the bumps.
