The alignment settings are different between the two vehicles; the M2C being more toed-in for more neutral and stable handling. This combined with the new EPS software and a little more intricate strut brace are the reasons why M2C responds subjectively different or better.
This is only logical explanation, as I've double check; the M2 and M2C's suspensions pieces are mechanically the same.
Funny how something simple as alignment setting can change the overall outlook of a vehicle.

What are the alignment specs of both OGm2 and M2Comp? |
I don't have the M2C detail alignment specs. Anyone who do, feel free to share it.
Just a review I was watching mentioned that the LCI M2 and M2C has different specs. He confirmed it when at a wheel shop, before getting an alignment.
I can't confirm this simply because I would never have a local shop set my alignment.
I heard that a proper BMW OEM alignment requires wheel weights, like physical bags of sand, to place on each seat, to simulate a sitting passenger.
Plus the machine for setting the targets is done by laser measurement. A mom and pops shop won't invest in those kind of equipment, which the dealer has.
Plus the EPS and alignment tricky to set right.
I don't believe the dealer will give you a copy of the OEM specs but a local shop might.
