The price difference, if the number that's been copied all over the place is correct, is $5,400 more ($53,500 to $58,900 - using beginning of model year pricing, which is the only fair way to compare.

You may want to recheck your weight distribution math, and let's not kid ourselves about the 0-60 times.. That is a meaningless metric and anyone that doesn't think the M2C will beat an older vintage M2 in the straights is coo-coo. And FWIW the "only real way" to compare prices is to factor in the year of inflation or at least a typical price increase that BMW applies to each of it's cars every year regardless of whether there are any changes to the vehicle. Bias much?
The total weight of the M2C, however, is a disappointment.
