1. M2C was about 10k more in Canada and that gap seems to be sticking with the used ones too. For me it wasn't worth it and I prefer to look and sound of the M2.

2. Bootspace is big but not enough for 2 big suitcases. It would take 1 large and 2 small or two medium.

3. It's fine in winter, you will be limited by ride height before running into troubles with traction. Daily driving is just fine, that's what the car is good at. Sure, the 240ix would be more comfortable and AWD but it's not much cheaper and you don't get the glorious wide fenders.

4. That depends on the brakes. Stock M2 like mine can go down to 18" wheels so my package was $2200 including taxes and everything (nice light 18x9 wheels and Blizzak WS80 tires). 5000 is crazy expensive. Even if you go all fancy and staggered I can't imagine spending more than 3k.
