It really comes down to the way you have your seat set in this car. It was mentioned before, and I agree, that it seems the 'right' driving position has you sitting a bit higher than you would initially expect. The angle to the instruments and out the front are just right. For me, 5'10" I just barely have enough room for my helmet, I can fit my hand between the helmet and the roof. (I have a non-sunroof). However, there is plenty of room to lower the seat a bit if you needed the extra inch or so. But this also means now driving the car in a different position than you're used to on the track, and that shouldn't be the case. Best thing to do is find a dealer with an M2 in the showroom, bring your helmet and see for yourself, or make a fist and see if that clears.

what about comparing to the E86 M coupe?
The E86 M Coupe should be the true comparison, not the E46 //M3. Offering mine if anyone's up for a drive with the Norcal Z's to compare it alongside one of these newfangled turbo-trocity //M cars BMW is pushing out there to have unaffordable maintenance costs after the warranty wears out, and lessees beating up on them not caring what the CPO buyer suffers after their lease is over.Preferable to an E46 //M3? For sure, its a no-brainer. But against the final version Siemens controlled S54 in an SCCA Street/stock class legal E86 M Coupe, with BMW's little air filter box restrictor baffles removed? That's a 'Coupe of a different color'. Let the tire smoke begin.

Ya...Just a sad, played out cliche. Car culture seems to love lazy, played out cliches.

We need to recognize that these cars are apples and oranges — cars from different eras with their own unique regulations that shape their design — like the very unique love-it-or-hate-it raspiness of the S54. Anyone could say: The e46 M3 is large, lifeless and overweight, and my e30 M3 is the best! |

Saw an M2C being prepped and on display at the Oxnard VDC in August when we were part of a tour group visiting the facility - could it possibly have been yours HS? Nice to view it in action!
