I have a standard F82 DCT and an M2C 6MT on order (for ED). I have driven both extensively on the track at various BMW events and the M2/M2C, in my opinion, is a far superior vehicle in terms of fun. The M3/4 are much more comfortable/luxurious, while putting up basically identical performance numbers. I went for the M4 because there were no deals to be had on an M2 when I got it, the M2C wasn't quite out yet and I wanted the extra power. I have HUD and it's cool, but totally useless with polarized sunglasses. All this said, if the ED doesn't work out, I am still not sure I'll take the new M2C. I think I will, but I am not certain. A Python Green 718 GTS 4.0 is starting to cut off my circulation...
