I second the Mityvac 7201, ECS tuning sometimes has deals or sales on them. Got mine for around $90 if I recall.

The evacuator works great, I use it on my GTI all the time but I am hesitant to ever use it on a car as nice as the M2 (even if I could) since I do believe it can miss quite a bit of oil depending on the oil pan design. It's not a fault of the Mityvac specifically, but extractors in general.

The GTI pan I have is baffled (I think to prevent sloshing and starvation/low pressure situations) and a good few quarts can end up staying at the bottom un-extracted regardless of how much you keep pumping- and it's not like you will have the dexterity/visibility to reposition the suction hose to get each baffled section (all just in my experience).
