In any case, the point was that gtaM2 called the C7 a "boat."

Not even sure why weight is in the discussion when talking about these 2 cars, 100 pounds is pretty negligible. It should be about looks, performance, build quality, fun factor.

I have both a m235i and a c7 06. Love my BMW way better with 8 speed. feels like a DC trans and actually has more features. the only thing the c7 has is its obviously a bit faster and handles better since its on 335/20 racing tires which are just nuts |

I sold my M235i, but still have my Z06/Z07.... And yes, it handles "a bit better" Hopefully you didn't by the A8 Z06. |

With it being difficult to get the M2 I want, I am seeing C7 GS's getting discounted pretty good and could get a 1LT at the price of a fully loaded M2 or 2LT around the price of a marked up M2. It is making me re think this whole thing. I am considering just keeping my 135is and adding to the stable.

I personally don't daily my Z06/7 just because witht eh sport cup 2 tires I don't want to drive it when its cold and I don't like parking it places as it always attracts too much attention and isn't the most parking lot friendly (none of my Corvettes have been) with the longer doors. It is awesome as a second or third car, if you are like me and try to keep your cars nice and are OCD about it. I replaced my m235i with a 2017 Camaro SS 1LE and really can't be happier. If you like the Camaro at all and are not stereotyping it on its history, this is a great option to compare against the M2/m235i. Costs less, more power, faster, still has a "back seat", will roast the BMWs around a track (all the M2 comparisons to the 1LE are the v6 Camaro, not the SS). The new Alpha platform Camaro has build quality that matches or exceeds my m235i and the Recaro's are great. Most complaints will be haters trashing the Camaro for the badge, the same as why most BMWs get the hate as well, so one camp or the other, same issues.

Sounds like you haven't driven one and are listening to the BS reviewers.
On the 6th gen, if you set your seat and mirrors correctly there is not problem seeing out of it. I'm 6 foot tall and even with a helmet I have headroom and have no issues seeing out of it. Especially in the rear view where most people end up. For grins i ordered the Whipple kit for the SS so in about 7 weeks I'll have a blown LT1 and an LT4. |

I promised a photo:
I think I will eventually swap the lower grille for a Z06 style one and not sure on the chrome wheels. I am not really a chrome fan and was really looking for black or machined wheels, but they don’t look too bad and kind of go with the car. |

I agree, my 2014 Z51 was a 2LT and my Z06 is a 2LZ for the same reasons. |
