I wonder if actual Porsche owners complain when Porsche releases the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 Touring and a 911R...

The people who might see me in my M2C have no idea who I am, have absolutely no influence on my life, and I'm certain could care less about me as the driver of the M2C. They may admire the car, but their perceptions of me will never be known, nor do I care. We can't buy a 405 bhp Kia or Toyota ... well maybe a Lexus ... right? Did you buy your M2 for yourself, or to impress others? |

.....and if they sold a 405 BHP Camry, I highly doubt that you would've seriously looked into it much like someone shopping a high powered BMW/Mercedes/Audi/etc. coupe doesn't really look [that seriously] at a Mustang/Camaro/Challenger/etc. (...generally speaking). Let's not kid ourselves here with power statements when we all know that the prestige holds weight. |

BMW starts with a 30k sedan and adds go fast parts to it. Not the same thing or same league. BMW is FAR from Porsche.

What I drive matters little to anyone but me. If you feel some sort of prestige owning a M4 - more power to you, I guess. The only point that you and I am in agreement with concerns the Mustang/Camaro/Challenger/Charger etc. I would not own any of those - not that they're not good cars - I just have zero interest in them. |

Everyone here is complaining about brand dilution. Do you think Porsche owners sit and complain that Porsche keeps coming out with GT3 variants and diluting their GT line up for the 911? |

Not street legal, guys, won't even have air bags. This is not a GTS or CSL or GT3 competitor. It's a race car. An actual race car. Like the ones used in racing. For the track only. A race car.

M4s are everywhere in SoCal. Maybe see an occasional M2 here and there, usually the same ones I see locally. Attend a lot of BMWCCA events through the year, M4 to M2 ratio has to be 5:1 at its lowest. My buddy is usually one of the few M2s that show up, in a sea of M3/M4s.

F80 M3 - 34,677 F87(N55) - 29,470 During the F80 M3 production the M4 was produced at much higher rate than the M3. We will get numbers when F82 is out of production. For example the E92 M3 was produced at 4:1 ratio compared to the E90 M3. Expect M4 units to be 3-4x the F80, plus additional years of production. The M2 production numbers will not be anywhere near M4 numbers when production ends for both F87 and F82. Last edited by M3_WC; 07-09-2019 at 12:27 AM.. |
