Of course some things are a rip off, but the M2 CS is worth every one of my hard earned dollars.

So true. I never understood that either and I wonder if it’s the same type or individual that’s just ok where they are in life.
Most of the cars I owned had some special variant - whether it was the Integera Type R to my Integra GSR or an S2000 CR to a S2000 or M3 CS to an M3 comp
I never tried to convince myself that the top tier wasn’t worth the money or it wasn’t good enough, I used it for motivation to further elevate my financial lposition. At the end of the day you can tell through actions as opposed to words. If the m2 CS wasn’t great people wouldn’t be trying to mimic it by buying replica parts. I still remember buying type r wings, cams, and even transmission for my GSR. If I could I’d have just owned the type r but while it wasn’t achievable I still respected the car for what it was
The only thing the m2 CS doesn’t have going for it is that it’s a “2 series” and your non enthusiast will think you’re driving just that. However, in 15-20 years when these type of cars are relics I reckon it won’t matter and these will be highly sought after for their relative analog experience.
If I wanted bells and whistles I’d get an M3 comp.
