The comp is the way to go IF the price is right. I could see a similar mileage N55 (2018 LCI) for 10-20k less. For the N55 I'd get a DCT for sure, comp DCT as well but manual if you must.
The only thing to watch out for with the comp is the crack hub.
Good luck with the search!

How wide spread is the crack hub issue? that is another reason why I think I am leaning to the OG. Both M2s I am looking at are DCT and I do not plan on doing any mods to them...other than aesthetic mods. |
I would get the comp, get a warranty for it and you're fine. Just make sure it's never been ECU reflashed because that'll come up when it's been servicing. A BMW tech can figure that out at the dealer.
I wouldn't stress about it at all.
