The E90/E92 M3 coupé, F80 M3 sedan and F82 M4 coupé ventured beyond the 4.5m limit (>177.17in), equally extending the wheel base, which is just a tad too tall for my liking. G80 M3 will be even taller. The F87 raises an 'E46 M3 reimagined and spiced up in the turbo era' impression.
The M2 CS is a 4-seater, no 2+2 seater or 2-seater. One could eventually coin it a truncated M4 CS with M3 CS doors interior, minus 10hp.
Admittedly, not many cars this size are on offer featuring 450hp, 6-cyl, RWD, choice of transmission (manual or dual-clutch transmission), appealing looks, 4 seats, adaptive suspension, a decent boot and quite some creature comforts. 'Urban use + track use': drive it to the track (eventually with extra tires on board), wring it out on track and get back home with it. The total versatile package makes the M2 CS a rare bird among the flock of high performance cars. Quintessential F87 with the final engineering touches to the S55 engine.

That all sounds great, but do you think the tweaks to the engine and very long in development new MPE can make this M2 sounds as deep and mean at low revs and through the rev range as the original M2 with MPE?
