M2 vs M2C
Recently replaced my 2017 MG M2 with the new 2019 HS M2C. One month in, I'm super-excited with that move, but would gladly open it to discussion...
Would anybody else on this forum definitely/not_on_your_life do it? Honest opinions only... Last edited by nt10pro; 05-21-2019 at 07:31 PM.. |

The truth is that neither of these cars appeal to the sort of drivers that made the BMW brand.
I have an LCI 2018 M2 6MT manual. It reminds me of the bottle of 2010 red Burgundy I had with dinner tonight with my business partner. Don't get me wrong, I love 2010 red Burgundies, and it is one of my all time favorite vintages. But this bottle, from a producer and vineyard that we both like, was uninteresting, flat, and monotonal. I have 3 older BMWs, all manuals, and every single one of them is way more fun to drive than my M2. I'm sure that I'd have the same opinion of an M2c; too automated, too electronic, not connected to the human driver. Powerful; yes. But unconnected, akin to driving a car in a video game.

I have a 2017 and I wouldn't spend the money on upgrading to a M2 C. In addition to financial reasons, I also wouldn't be able to make use of the M2 C's added power to offset the much inferior sound of the S55 and the (marginally?) worse fuel economy.

The OG M2 and the M2C are fantastic cars period - you must be tired of it...or something. |

I don't regret buying it because there was nothing better out there to buy, then or now. I would ask you if you have ever driven one of the older cars BMW used to make? BMW is no longer targeting the same type of driver as they used to target when the brand became famous for being the creator of the "sports sedan." I suspect that you are a typical newer buyer, which is fine, BMW has to sell to someone and they probably won't be selling to me in the future.
