Hello,
Will keep this short and sweet, I've had an M2 2017 pre facelift since new and driven 55,000km the car is immaculate and it's got a huge list of mods with if I do go ahead and sell I will be willing to part out, some expensive some cheap I am based in central/Eastern Europe and I have my own truck company which is capable of deliveries through some parts of Czech Republic/Germany/Belgium/Holland/U.K. There is no secret that the 981 GT4 is a dream car and unfortunately I cannot have both, so next year is really ideal for me to sell the car I've said I'd never like to sell and move on or keep the M2 albeit I'm currently 50/50. The new GT4 while more refined but from what I'm told not as special is out of my price point right now and I do have a preference for the OG just FYI but it's a tough decision for me all in all, I'm aware they both offer different things but just wanted some thoughts from others that maybe I have not thought about. So if you have time please share your thoughts below, Thanks List of mods : 2017 M2 Stage 2 Tune - 605nm 410bhp Colder Sparkplugs Wagner Intercooler ITG Air Filter Akrapovic Downpipe M Performance Exhaust M Performance Carbon Boot Lip Alpha N Composites GTS Carbon Hood Edison Composites GP2 Lip KW V3 HRE R101 LW Satin Bronze Goodridge brake lines Endless ME22 pads Endless Brake fluid M2C wing mirrors OEM ( Carbon Mirror Caps) Sport Cup 2 Tires. Interior: M2C seats M Performance steering wheel with yellow 12 clock marker Yellow IND Start button Full carbon interior Car Play. If anyone's interested - @spiderpigm2 - and yes the colour is slightly controversial however life's too short. Thanks for your time Kris. |

Hi krizze, I believe to remember that you had 2 OG M2 cars: one as daily and one as long-term low mileage garage queen.
Don't forget that, as we all go through stages in life, at some point in time you'll definitely need those very practical backseats. Life with only a 981 GT4 as daily driver is possible, but has its practical impediments. Then you better also have a 'beater' for those trips with 2 or 3 passengers, tougher winter conditions, long distance trips, nasty road bumps and steep parkings requiring sufficient ground clearance, IKEA visits, transporting a set of 4 tires, parking in 'the wrong part of town', etc. (all sorts of stuff that your M2 can handle as daily driver, actually).

I got a good offer on that one and it was sold so I still run a company car a Skoda VRS Wagon, which does all the daily things I need + will probably upgrade to a 3 series touring too, so that's why it's easier for me to consider this scenario, but thank you for your input! |

I suspect they would be out of my price range but can you give us details (size/offset) on the HRE R101 LW Satin Bronze Wheels?

You only live once...I say take the leap to the GT4. If it doesn't work out the way you hoped, you can always sell and come back to the M2.
If you don't take the opportunity to make a change, you may regret it... Good luck to you!
