My best buddy has a '15 M4. I never fully warmed to that car - just too big for me for what it is, and those early M4's really did have issues putting power down and "trying to kill me!" factor that was not great. I understand that was greatly improved by the time the Comp came around.

To me the big difference in how they drive is all about the shorter wheelbase of the M2c. Coming from a Z4 M Coupe, where the driver practically sits right on the rear suspension, the M2c has a similar feel of the car kind of rotating around your hips, whereas the longer M4 just feels like a big car. It's incredible how well the M2c hides its weight - feels much lighter on its feet, despite gobs of unsprung weight from the massive brakes & relatively heavy (for a forged wheel) 788M's. I'd love to drive a CS with the lighter carbon ceramic brakes and lighter 763M's. Those changes alone have to make a huge difference in how the car handles & steers.
