Honestly, even if the pricing starts in the $80s I would still choose this over an M4 any day. Really curious how BMW is gonna price it.
I don't know, I actually don't think there's a ton of cross shopping from M4 buyers. From my time at the other forum, there seems to be a huge portion of M4 buyers that are really image conscious and wouldn't be seen dead in a "2 series" even if it was faster and cheaper.
You're right, when members in the M4 forum suggest getting an M2C, they perceive it as taking a step down.. Sort of like how M2 owners look down on 240i drivers. The arrogance is quite an amusing observation on human nature.

Since they already announced the S58 and the new G series M4 mule was just seen being winter tested, I assume they're going to release it to coincide with the M2 CS, so it doesn't overlap in competition.
I agree with this unfortunately. I came from an M4 Comp and the interior of my M2C is almost identical to my M4. Probably because I don't care one bit about HUD or what leather my seats have. On the other hand, as you mentioned, the way quite a few M3/M4 owners describe their cars' interior compared to the M2 almost sounds like they are downgrading from an S-class.
