I always wanted a BMW since I was a kid. An M car was unimaginable. I did get an E90 335 when I got older and drove that for 10 years. I still miss it. The M2C reminds me of the E90, only better.
Great to hear I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I have yet to meet someone who got rid of their fancy Tesla to get into a smaller "ICE" car. I know people who own both a Tesla and a sports car, but with only one car I only hear of people going from BMW/Porsche to Tesla. Not the other way around.

Most people follow a path that others tell them they should, and which they begin to perceive as normal or par for their "status". I say get what your gut tells you (and a test drive perhaps). I never drove one before mine but the emotional draw was high for me for the M2, that the first one I drove was my own. Also, given BMWs track record, the new M4 will be bigger and heavier. It may be more powerful but a lot of raw feel will be lost along the way. The way the M2 is, is what makes it so fanatically loved.
