assuming the 65K does not come with options like GPS even paying an extra 8K for a new cayman S would be better imo |

I found a e90 m3 sedan with 51,000kms, one owner full maintenance records and winter tires. Manual, executive package only, 6 speed, no nav or idrive for 37.5k. I am thinking its a better deal then a new m2.,

Personally, I'd take a new M2 over an E9X even if the M2 is a little more $$ but that's just my view.

Not sure this the F80/F82 will be all that special if BMW continues to dilute the market with more half breed ///m cars. Despite saying this, I am actively looking for an m4 haha |

There are pros and cons for every purchase. The fact that it's 30k less and has 4 doors for my young family is the main reason I am going this route. The fact the e90 has good reviews for reliability also factored in my decision. I can drive this for 4 years and trade in with still decent equity as most of the depreciation hit is gone. Also the m2 will not be limited production like 1M. My dealership verified today.

Test drove a Cayman s (2014)...wow.
This m2 better be something special. The Cayman was out of my budget but maybe worth the wait for it to be within range..in a year or 2. Not sure I can stomach not having something fun to drive in the meanwhile though. |

However, don't expect a reasonably large 4-seater coupé with lots of real-world-practicality to outperform a purposeful, low-slung, lightweight, two-seater sports-car in terms of driving dynamics (and especially not if said sports car plays in a higher price range). |

gt350 starts at 63k bone stock with recaro seats
and believe me it is worth every penny. if M2 starts 65k I say that is insane. I drove the M235i on the track, and the N55 is strong and smooth for sure, but it just can't compare with that 526HP FPC Quote:

Also, while I don't need four doors, I do need four seats and a bit of luggage space – hence I'm not really in the market for a two-seater sports car. However, if I could ignore price and practicality, I'd have booked a Cayman S test drive months ago and I can understand everyone who goes down that route. |
