How will the price translate to the Canadian market?

True but BMW isn't that much different

$48,000 for the car and $5,000 for the name

can wait to drive my friends M2 that should be coming soon in the UK, he also optioned the manual so it will be interesting to compare my DCT aswell how BMW has set up the car compared to my M4

Sorry. On the app and quickly searched but must have overlooked.

There is little doubt the M4 will be faster than the M2 in almost every meaningful way. However, the price/performance ratio for the M2 is VERY compelling IMO!!

Will be looking for your comparison review between the M2 and the M4 in April!

I don't know.. that's a good question.... so why DID you get an M4 ?

Oh I didn't know the M2 would be MY2016, people that are ready should definitely jump on it now. I myself still have some time to enjoy my M4 until June 2017 so LCI it is

M4 has it on everything, except agility. Mathematically, the M2 is the better turner.

because the M2 wasn't available when I preordered my M4 lol but I would still get an M4 even if I was buying one now, the M2 is good but everything about the M4 gets me haha

I'd love a nice blue like Porsche Sapphire Blue, a true racing yellow, or even red. Long Beach Turquoise is a little too 80's Miami Vice for me.

M2 will probably be more fun than M4, looking at 235i vs 435i. It's also plenty fast as long as you're not street racing or a spec junkie. I do want those cloth seats though..

you would expect that on a smaller car and better looking aswell

That's a pretty good price. I assume DCT will be $3900. So under $70k (I'm in AB).

By the way are you keeping your M4? I am looking at M2 as a DD.

It's a good option for those that want to have warranty? The M2/M3 M Performance suspension is made by KW, tuned by BMW. That's fine in my book.

Yes, but our family wagon, which is an E91 with M sport suspension, sits lower and has a smaller wheel gap than all new RWD M Sport BMW's including M cars. Strange, isn't it?

arkow · 01-11-2016, 01:08 PM

Looks great and the price is where I expected, one question remains:

How much power safely are we able to get with this M2 engine vs M3/4?

I agree. M2 should be much more fun to drive than an M4. Size and the overall footprint matter.
