Mine is a DD. I’m pretty careful where I park it, 3 years in, no door dings. Although it had a ton of rock chips in the front. I find it a pretty civilized car, very easy to live with. Almost too tame. Admittedly, my wife hates it and hasn’t ridden in it more than a couple of times. I’d love to keep it and get something less practical. |

I think BMW and particularly M cars are gateway drugs to other cars.

How are you finding the move from your golf R to the M2? I've passed my old Mk7R to my wife. I do sometimes miss the all weather point and shoot ease of driving of the golf r and the excellent compromise between comfort and performance. Not sure I could do a very long drive in the M2 with the family, but the golf R wouldn't be an issue. |

Forums will get poppin again once more info on the new model arises. Hopefully for good reasons unlike the M3/4, which get attention for the wrong things.

One thing I've noticed is that the forum could be a bit better organized. Like why is there not a compiled list of DIYs or a DIY section? Why not sticky some of the better posts in each section? Things like that seem simple but would improve the experience.

I am a Porsche guy who came to BMW because I could not resist the M2C . . . 718 CGTS was the best sport car I have ever owned. M2C is the best car I have ever owned. I absolutely love it. I am so enthralled with my M2C I have already submitted order for G80 M3C . . . with close eye on the future with the G87 M2C. Porsche sport cars are awesome, but the BMW sporty coupes/sedans are very special in their own right. The M2C is an absolutely marvelous beast. Enjoy every minute of what it has to offer . . . even if most everything there is to say in a forum has already been said. ///AVM Last edited by ///AVM; 11-15-2020 at 03:07 PM.. |

And it isn’t just BMWs getting compared to Porsche, so are Corvettes. Try going over to a C8 forum and read the Porsche related threads. Even when they are hating on Porsche, the only thing the can come up with is price and how cheap their car is in comparison. But then I haven’t seen a 911 snap a valve spring with less than 200 miles either. I was slow to realize that the old adage “you get what you pay for” kind of applies to Porsche. They charge the prices they do because they are that good. You get a near exotic performance car with the reliability of Toyota that doesn’t get heat soak when put through its paces. I’ve never heard of a Porsche you can’t take to the track if you wanted to, but you can’t take a base C8 to the track without the Z51 package....what the heck is that? |

Nobody does sport cars better than Porsche . . . expensive but, without doubt, you do get that for which you pay. I will get back into the Porsche lineup at some point but, as of now, I am enjoying the hell out of my M2C . . . and looking forward to G80 M3C ownership. At any rate, I have been blessed with opportunity to explore both the Porsche and BMW lineups, and find no value whatsoever in comparing either. Both have been great in my experiences. ///AVM |

Exactly... when I was a part of the E46Fanatics forum, they had it down perfectly. I'd spend hours on that forum even in the off-topic section.... granted I had more time back then when I was younger but this forum pales in comparison.

people are more into the Instagram "hot BOI" style content feed of trickled pics from a rolling photo shoot in the city or highway vs someone forum threads that build up the car and actually uses it for curvy back roads or the track like it's designed.
Just something I've noticed across most car fronts.... fight me

I am sure there are many that visit this site for information or ideas but don't bother contributing as despite this site being for fellow enthusiasts there is a lot of unnecessarily negative comments from certain members on here which isn't exactly encouraging.
I'm not saying don't have an opinion or whatever but don't be a dick about it & if you don't have anything of value to contribute just move on.

Only if the model type starts with 'GT' and ends in 3 or 4.

When you realize that, then you start to understand why Porsche is kind of on a pedestal. And certainly you can say that about Ferrari or Lamborghini etc. However, Porsche is still somewhat attainable. The only way you find a $30k Ferrari is if it’s a project car. You can find well sorted used 911s for less than that and of course Caymans as well. And if you truly enjoy driving, these cars will hold a special place in your garage. I used to be in that group where I would never spend that amount for a Porsche when I can make my “insert car here” do the same thing. It wasn’t until I started getting the opportunity to test drive Porsches or drive a colleague/friend Porsche that the lightbulb start to come on for me. |

Because Porsche is the benchmark for automotive excellence.
Porsche even flaunts that it has the highest profit per car sold of any car company in the world.

I would like to own another Porsche again someday - have driven several and owned a 928 that I enjoyed immensely except for the repairs - but in the meantime my love affair with the M2 continues. Every time I open the garage door, I can't believe there's an M2 sitting there. And it still looks as perfect as the day we picked it up at the Welt. Easiest money I've ever spent, can't believe it only cost $55,900. Every drive is an experience.
As an aside, not to make comparisons, but has anyone here ever tried to get $2500 worth of groceries into any 911/Cayman/Boxster? M2...no problem. Don't ask. There are surely better cars out there, but the M2 is my $55K docile daily driver that turns into a monster as soon as you point it towards a canyon. |
