"5. BMW's Best Proportions
Looks are subjective, but you're reading something written by someone that unashamedly loves a small, fast BMW and is forever smitten by the E46 3 Series generation. To him, and many others, the current M2 feels like a true evolution of that concept. The shape and bodywork are inspired by the E46's silhouette but, if anything, are both as sophisticated and more aggressive than the golden generation of M3. From the inside, it offers the same excellent visibility often lost on modern cars, particularly when glancing over your shoulder before changing lanes, and, perhaps most importantly, it doesn't have an absurdly sized grille slapped on the front. It drives a nail into the coffin of anyone that argues BMW's big-grille design is because the engines need more airflow - the M2 is simply perfect in its proportions. [...]"

"6. The Near-Perfect M3
While the title of this article states the M2 CS is BMW's greatest M3, that's not strictly true. The M2, in general, is BMW's greatest M3; it's just a case of which is perfect for you. The M2 Competition is anything but a standard car. It's a joyous ode to the purposeful compact sports coupes of old but imbued with the back road and track performance that modern engineering provides. It's a sign that BMW's M division still knows how to build great cars, and the CS just hammers the point home. [...]"

I forgot about this video, what an accolade

I'm willing to bet, Chris Harris would have been one of the first people in UK to order the M2CS
