Please communicate to BMW that we are not impressed with the hard plastic interiors of late. The performance aspects go without saying. There's nothing wrong with wanting a nice interior in a small car like the 2-series.

I bought the wife a $40000 SUV last year. Cayman was not financially responsible this time around. The 228i will be going to my daughter when she turns 16 in three years...then Dad gets his Cayman...or M2 if I like the interior.

You can be sure the Cayman will have leather options for just about anything within the interior, but it sure adds up

Yes it does...Porsche is worse than BMW when it comes to options. I dont plan on going nuts. I dont need every square inch covered in leather. I mean fuse box covered in leather? Who needs that...lol?

I'd gladly pay the $10k more for the performance parts that you said weren't going to make a difference, especially if they come straight from the M3/4. I assure you they'll be very noticeable. Brakes, real M EPS, LSD, upgraded suspension parts, M seats (not a huge fan of the way the regular 2er seats look personally). Let me put it this way. You try to do that on your own on your 228i, and tell me how much that'll cost you. Regardless, I think the interesting part will come down to the pricing. An M2 will already be same price or cheaper than a base Cayman (remains to be seen if they include heated seats and nav like the M3/4), and about $10k cheaper than Cayman S I would think. I think the M2, if priced right, even with an N55, will be a hell of a bargain for what you get. Fingers crossed they come through with weight savings.

I really doubt that Nav and heated/Electric seats will be included to be honest.
I would expect the M2 to have the same standard spec at the m235i, just with Xenons and possibly rear PDC as standard. Other than that, I foresee everything else being an option. I hope so. Nav and heated seats for what!? I live in SA, its already hitting 30degree's celsius and we just breaking into Spring. Plus its extra weight |

P.S. Xenons are already standard on the M235i in the US.

I think if you want an M2, with adaptive suspension and NAV, it can be had for right under $60k (full leather dash for sure will not be an option). Just a hunch. Whereas base Cayman, with full leather and Nav will be over $60k, and that's with the cheapest wheels possible and none of the crazy colors. Personally, i think it's going to be so interesting when there are comparisons. The M2 will have the more powerful engine and better bang for your buck (and practicality), while the Cayman will be the purer drivers car. Can't wait.

As far as I'm concerned I'll gladly take an m235i interior. The extra $$$ is for the upgraded driving dynamics and fun factor.
I'd even pass on the nav if given the option (looks like its standard in the m3/4). |
