Results are results. There isn't much to say about them but I wish they compared these two cars side by side on the same day instead of going back to their test from two years ago. Who knows, maybe the the gap was going to be larger or maybe OG M2 was going to perform even better. This type of testing isn't ideal, that's for sure. I'm not even going to comment on the article itself.

Also, this comparison reminded me of their M4 ZCP test results (from 2016), which they compared to their M4 Base test results (from 2015). Even though M4 ZCP has extra 19HP and slightly more rubber, Base M4 did better in almost all categories than the ZCP:
