Honestly, I really doubt the M2/C got ignored more than than any other. Only the M8 does BMW M justice now after the M2/M2C. Either way, BMW has the M2 CS in the pipeline. That car alone will get a reveal and steal the spotlight from all the other M's. |

The only reason an M3 costs more is because its full of useless options which bump up the price.
The M2c is about driving and some other M owners dont like having spent way more for a cheaper model to out perform it in reviews and fun to drive. |

Honestly it's because let's be honest the original M2 was not a true M car. The engine, side mirrors, and other things is what I and most think why it shouldn't be classified as one. On the other hand the M2C is what the M2 should have been from the very beginning. If you don't agree with this it's because you're in denial or you own an OG M2.

Also, there are TONS of OG M2 car owners that were extremely upset when the M2C was announced feeling a bit betrayed by BMW that expressed their feelings all over these forums...why do you think that is? |

-150lbs lighter -better seats (thigh extension is more comfortable for me, and adjustable headrest means I can run harnesses without replacing seats) -better engine sounds -ability to run 18" wheels for better track tire selection For me, those things made it more of an M car than an engine code that starts with an S. The side mirrors are a very recent M thing. Not much heritage to the mirrors to be credible as a requirement for M status. Same for the power bulge in the hood... |

Exactly, when the F80 M3 first came out I thought putting 4 wheels on a barge does not make an M car, irrelevant of the S moniker. It's just an opinion...
