The penalty for this? 100-150lbs more weight? - I'll agree the portion of that new weight that is unsprung is not ideal but jeeze... honestly what more do you expect from the introduction of a slightly higher specification of a current generation car? You guys sound like non-M2C owners in denial of the facts - OGM2 is awesome, M2C is an improved iteration! Try to accept it

Better car on paper...sure. I'll give you that, for the reasons you listed. But how much more performance can an average driver pull from the M2C than the M2? Are we talking 5%? 10% at the outside? I also hate the sound of the S55...and the complexity of that motor |

This is the first Harris vid that I actually thought was a waste of time. Surprisingly bad video for him and I'm a big fan.

What happened to Jethro Bovingdon? he was on form too (remember the 4 part m2 vs Cayman s vs TTRS series) until Motortrend picked him up.

The sound on this car is spectacular...IDK what you've been reading. Even though the HP numbers are 10% higher, the usable band is much better on the M2C vs the M2. Look at the Torque/RPM curves. You make it sound like 10% more HP is no biggie but claim that 100lbs is the end of the world. Doing it wrong. My list: - Finally a sunroof option - Way better looking than the last gen - Way better seats - Steering is substantially better. - Although at first I was skeptical, I"m now convinced the 788's are way better looking than the 437s. - Better suspension setup. |

I mean how much more performance can you pull from the M2 than the 220i on the street? You can still lose your license in it and it has much less complexity |
