The M2C is in every way possible a superior car to the M2. Does this mean the latter is a piece of shit and everyone should avoid it? Hell no, but if we quantify "bang for buck", whomever bought the OG M2 definitely should be a little pissed at the way BMW handled it.
It's not the first time BMW swapped engines halfway through a car's lifespan. But do some digging and crunch the numbers and you'll see how a similar scenario has a negative effect on first owners.
We're not talking about a few cosmetic brush ups and a tiny bump in performance. It's the difference between a pretty maxed out engine (without touching expensive FBO treatment) and an engine that is detuned and in stock form is safely able to handle 40-50hp more with just a tune.

No...not missing the point.
Thats all trivial to me....I bought the M2 that was hyped for years. Absolutely happy with it.
Really couldn't ask for more. The only people that feel ripped off are the people that for some reason or another...need the engine? Idk..guess I'll never understand.
I wrench on my own crap lol....the mods are endless and I'm excited for it all.
