On the other hand...an M is an M, and it's different. If someone thinks their ...35/40i is the same, they just don't get it.

They're both BMWs and is not some exotic, 1/2 million dollar super car, so it's tone-deaf to believe that one owner is superior to other because of what level of series they choose to drive. |

I don't think of my M4 as a hard core sports car. I think of it as a sporty GT car. It's fast, comfortable, and quite luxurious. I've tracked it a handful of times, but it's just too big to really enjoy on my local track. I was offered the first OG M2 back in December 2015 (before they hit dealers), but ultimately got my M4 due to the luxury features, all of the leather, heads up display, nicer seats, etc. Now that the M2C has caught up with everything except HUD, it's an interesting comparison. Who knows if we'll ever have another M2 after the F87? Last summer I had the opportunity to drive an OG M2 M-Performance edition at that same track (full works from Cup 2s, 763M wheels, coil-overs). It was hands down the best car I've ever driven on track. I've had minimal seat time in the M2C, but from my initial impressions, it is a better driver's car than the OG M2 and the M4. Its just tighter, better steering, better chassis, etc. That's why I'm so interested in adding the CS. |

I would MUCH rather do what you did though if I tracked the car a lot and didn't drive in the winter. On the street it just doesn't matter. |

Added to the first post of this thread:
--------------- EDIT: --------------- The dummy/blank button on the center console of the M2 Competition = Adaptive M Suspension button on the M2 CS center console.

I hope I'm wrong though because I might want to get into an M2CS in a few years and would prefer to pay less. As far as your comparisons, it depends on your needs. If you're looking for a track car, then there are definitely better options. If you're looking for a daily, with the occasional track sessions, then I'd stick with the M2C/S, personally. The interior quality between a BMW and a Chevy/Ford is VERY noticeable. Speaking from personal experience.

Perhaps now they realise there is more money on the table by cutting down the CS tax and sell more volumes |

If you are tracking then just get AP Racing brakes. They will take a beating vs stock and you won't cry when you have to replace the rotors. I think the only way I'd get a car with CCBs is if I was leasing it and driving it on the street only. Let the next guy deal with replacement, lol. Also, if you are really fading the brakes on the street then you might be tempting fate... upgrade the OEM pads first to something that can take a little bit of heat but are still safe cold like DS2500. |

They compensate with overkill thermal mass. Of course, it does help that the 911 and 718 Porsches can make better use of the rear brakes. |

Further, M3 seats are a no go in a 2-door since they don't tilt forward.

Same tune as the M3/4 competition package I assume...

For my part, it would not have been possible to upgrade a new M4 to make it a CS for less money than the premium I paid for my M4cs. That being said, if one already owns an M2, it could indeed be less expensive for that owner to upgrade some elements of his car to make it almost a CS for less money (and if willing to sacrifice warranty).

I have gotten pretty used to the HUD - I thought it was a little gimmicky in the beginning...but I use it every single day and hardly ever look all the way down at my gauge cluster. It's the main difference I notice (from an interior perspective) when I drive my dad's car. Not a deal breaker by any means, but I think that's the one thing I would miss from the F80.

Providing there is a setting for just how it is now and a firmer once for more progressive driving, I'd buy the M2 CS for this option alone. Cheers for the info. |

Plus, doesn't it add additional weight?
