I want a car that's supercar fast as soon as I hit the gas (that handles like it's on rails). Sorry, to me (and 98% of the population)....a car with 600 HP and 2.8 0-60 time is going to be much more fun than a car that is significantly slower....even if it's a manual. The M5 is the standard of the sports sedan and always has been. It has way more heritage than a damn 2 series.

You should just buy a Tesla if that's what you care about. They will walk you in real life and have much more instantaneous response than a turbo ICE. Heritage. lol I'm done, good day sir. |

My middle of the range, diesel, auto, SUV, X3 has the same 0-60 time as an open-gated manual, V8, Ferrari 348. I know which I'd rather take up an Alpine pass.

If you really do feel the need to convince others that the 8 series is better, you'd get further by speaking about your experience(s) with the car, and what impresses you about it. It would be even better if you compare that with any experience you have with the m2, and why it didn't meet your expectations. Regardless, you'd contribute much more with an informative, interesting post instead of crapping on the m2. It's like when candidates running for public office spend all of their energy telling us what not to like about their opposition, but never get around to telling us what they are about, or want to do. They have no agenda except to drag someone else through the mud. Then they wonder why no one is interested. |

I have to say M5 is brutally fast and handles great for the size but the M2 is just phenomenal car. Beautifully balanced and the MT is cherry on the cake

At first you treat the curbs like bumpers in bowling.. it's so bad in fact rental car companies circle rash with yellow paint before they rent them out to international's and charge people for wheels and damaged tires. You get used to it thought eventually just hope it's before you get involved in a head on..

I'll stick with my choices. Best of both worlds, both with usable back seats.
One is a MT, one is an AT, that is way better then the DCT my past M4ZCP... (start the flame war).... I'll let you guess which is which. |

The real insight kicks in a few mins from the end. Prepare for minds to be blown:-
- M8 more of a GT car - M2 more fun weekend car - MXdrive provides stability and confidence in the wet

Here in Canada there's barely a $35k price difference between the M8C and the R8.. hands down all day long I'd take the R8 if I'm into a car for $200k +
