E92 M3 Length: 181.7"


E46 M3 Width: 70.1"
F87 M2 Width: 73"
E92 M3 Width: 71"

E46 M3 Height: 56."
F87 M2 Height: 55.5"
E92 M3 Height: 56.1"

So basically the M2 has the same proportions as the e46 M3 except it's a little shorter (barely), a little wider, and a little lower. And it's wider and lower than the e92 M3!! Fuck me I don't know what to do.
Fuck the numbers.
Get (or keep) the car you want.

But, just for the record, I think the front and rear track widths are interesting:

F87 M2
F: 62.2
R: 63.0

F80/80 M3/4
F: 62.1
R: 63.1

The M2 and M3/4 front and rear track widths are just 0.1" different.
And the M2 has a 4.7" shorter wheel base. Will be interesting to compare handling.
