Dealer got it and installed it so it was easy for me
I don't think they are available in the US yet but Canada can, for some reason, get them.

Your are just justifying your purchase and you couldn't afford the M3/M4 ..  . ( I've seen people post that, so it must be true ! ).
It's either that or you are now becoming a car journalist.
And of course your opinion is wholly invalid because you haven't been on the track in your M2 !
I don't want to  though. : |
It's funny, I was actually thinking this exact same thing when I was writing my thoughts out.
Just to get out in front of some of those inevitable comments, let me clarify for those who need it.....
I actually took the car to my "proving grounds" where I can push it very hard before deciding to post this. I have hundreds of track hours in a number of cars and I actually think I'm relatively good at getting a sense for the car's true ability on the right back road even though I'm not quite at the car's limit. But, as you point out, I was thinking that many will discount my opinion (even though it is just MY opinion) because I wasn't actually at a track... even though most of them will NEVER be at a track anyway
You know, I actually would love to be an auto journalist... how cool would that job be!! The problem is then I actually wouldn't be able to afford the M4 I just sold after two years of ownership (or the C7 Z51, or the C63 coupe, or my two E92 M3's).
Some may not believe me but I don't keep cars long enough to feel the need to "justify my purchase"
Had my initial concern remained after a few weeks of ownership, I would have sold the M2 and bought something else
Life is FAR too short to hold onto a car you don't really like if there is a better option you could have. If I wanted my M4 back, I'd have my M4 back
That doesn't mean I won't want another some day but, today, the M2 is the better car for me given what I'm looking for in a car.
