I can’t speak for the M2CS, maybe they improved that part. I mean a Golf R has adaptive suspension, BMW couldn’t work that in? I think the problem with the M2 is that BMW saw it as a poor man’s M4 Coupe instead of what people really wanted was ALL the M4 parts in a smaller, lighter package. Of course the problem with that is then you just buy the M2 instead of the M4 so I get it.

Interesting, but I look at the M2 a completely different way. The fact that it did not come with adaptive suspension in the first place made me raise my eyebrows, but in a good way.
Considering this car was built after 2015, it's pretty cool to see a car with passive suspension, slicktop available, manual handbrakes, 1 package and size of an E46. Imagine if they offered it without Idrive.
I respect the M2 because it's as back to basics as possible in this current market from a maker like BMW (and not something like Lotus).
