I agree, it's certainly as capable as any other RWD car with snow tires. I did the same when I had my E46 and it did great. Better than a AWD car without snow tires even, but I'd hardly ever call it the right car. There are plenty MORE capable cars fit for the job, like a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler.

If the M2C is comparable to an NA, then I can imagine what it's like. If the M2 is torqier at lower rpm's, I will most likely prefer the N55 anyway. So ya, it's just not on my bucket list to drive the M2C.

The M2C doesn't drive like a NA car at all, but the powerband is more linear than the M2. Also the only time the M2 makes more torque is from idle to 2,700 RPM and that's only by about 20 WTQ. |

My Vette had 460 hp/465 tq. It was fun getting to the speed limit in 1 sec, but then what? Then it's just frustration because there's so much left on the table and you know it and you can't do anything about it without ending up with a ticket or in jail. Did I look cool going to my local grocery store? Like someone else said in another thread "I didn't look like a peasant". Looks-wise, the average person can't tell the difference between and M2 and a 230i. So that's not a reason to get one over an OG or lci. My point and experience with my M2 lci (which was just to share my opinion with the OP) is that I am perfectly happy with the lci and have never felt buyer's remorse knowing what the M2C has to offer. Especially with the price difference between the two that I would have been paying (used '18 vs new M2C). So tell me, how do the upgrades in the M2C make a better AVERAGE daily driver than the M2 lci? I'm not being snarky. Maybe I am missing out on something? Because I'm being honest when I say I haven't driven the M2C. |

Beyond the motor the brakes are also much sharper and responsive with the 2NH upgrade over the blue caliper setup, the steering weighting is also much better in the M2c and can be adjusted independently of the throttle. Last edited by CosmosMpower; 04-19-2019 at 03:55 PM.. |

Also, I was strongly considering an MX-5

To me there's a difference between an "average daily driver" and your "average daily drive". Unless most of you don't use your car for the street and save them for the track only?
Going to work, getting groceries, etc. I use my car on all my average daily drives. But no, I don't want just an average car to do it in, obviously. That was my point...
