That sounds like a 2015 M4...

The newer ones have been re-tuned and have a much better suspension (in terms of the adjustable part becoming standard - at least here in the States).

The OG M2 just lacks compliance from a DD perspective - the M2C seems to have that fixed. So I would recommend (as I believe a new thread has been merged into this one) that people compare all three cars M2/M2C/M3&M4 and pick what is correct for them.
The only difference suspension wise between M2 and M2C is the front alum/carbon brace and the additional weight of the M2C.

But I agree between all M2's, at this point for someone who does not own an M2 I'd buy an M2C or CS unless the sound is really really important for you.
