Do you realize that the difference in size/length between the M2 CS (4-seater) and 718 Cayman GT4 (2-seater) is only 5mm (0.5cm or 0.2inch) ?

I consider the M2 CS backseats and extended boot space when you fully fold these down (60/40), a practical benefit on a high performance car. Not only to share driving fun with kids, but also to transport stuff to a track or on longer trips.

Length and wheelbase: - 981 GT4 = 4438mm (174.72in) | wheelbase: 2474mm (97.40in)
- 718 GT4 = 4456mm (175.43in) | wheelbase: 2484mm (97.80in)
- M2 Competition = 4461mm (175.63in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- M2 CS = 4461mm (175.63in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- original M2 = 4468mm (175.91in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- E46 M3 = 4492mm (176.85in) | wheelbase: 2731mm (107.52in)

Brilliant interpretation.
I will not buy a small size ""BMW"" for that money. Not talking about 5 mm or 50 mm size difference here. I would 100% buy a small size cayman, because of my own reasons that none else has to agree. It's our money and to each their own. And it's also our opinions and preferences, there is no right or wrong in absolute sense.
Price and size don't have a correlation of course, we all know.
I (keyword here) personally don't see any value in a $85k 2 series, for same reason as I never understood the craze for an M2. Bmw bloated a perfectly right size E90 platform M3 sedan/coupe to make room for a 2 series and now in 2019 the world is going bonkers with plethora of M cars everywhere in different flavors like your gelato in a shop (ok bad analogy bmw is not Italian lol) .
