When the M2C rumors w/S55 started, I sold my 2017 M2 while the value was still solid. Moved into a 2018 M3 ZCP at a very good price. There is no comparison. It's not just the engine. The entire car is so much more refined - M2 feels like a parts bin car in comparison. If I tracked my car frequently, the M2 would be my choice. But it's not nearly as livable on a daily basis as the M3. So glad I was "forced" into looking at the M3. Thanks BMW!

I don't believe there is as much comparison to the M5/6 on this forum than there is to the M3/4 on the M2 forum. I think that is because there is less market overlap between the M5/6 and M3/4 markets than there is between the M3/4 and M2 market. IMO, there are very few folks that wished for an M5/6 and bought an M3/4 because it was less expensive.
I must say though, with the avenue of the M2C with the S55 and all the weight reduction M-Performance parts, the M2 is becoming very appealing (M-Performance parts finally carry their name where they actually offer a performance enhancement).

I see the other side in that having the s55 in bmw's highest selling car (iirc m2 outsells all other m cars combined), will create more demand for better quality/cheaper aftermarket parts, which the tuners will respond with given the sheer market size
Just think of all those stock frames on eBay that would make an easy pure turbo core exchange, and maybe even a true flex solution finally We may even see new tuners coming into the platform like cobb or apr |

I would certainly buy a 718 GTS. I wouldn’t say I want it more than my 991.2S or the 991.2 GTS I may be trading for, but I would take it any day over an M2/3/4. Last edited by Funf6cyl; 05-06-2018 at 09:52 AM.. |

All three are excellent cars, and we are lucky as BMW fans to have the choice. And yes, the M2C with all the M Perf options now available is enticing. But BMW will probably have something up their sleeve for the next M4 to the keep the all important gap between the two models. Nothing wrong with that and I am excited to see what they do. |

M2 and M4 I think is where the model overlap is worst.
M3 has the iconic name and sedan shape One model lineup gap I wish BMW M would fill is the all-out 2 seats light sports car. Maybe they have outsourced that to Toyota Supra in this generation. I would be so down for a z4 sized car that's 2800lb with 350lb 4cyl with full coilovers, space for 305 wide tires all around, and aero in the same vein as viper acr |

Toyota has the fixed roof version, whose first public showing was in race car form (unlike Bmw, which showed off as a style statement) I'm not holding my breath for a bmw sports car anyway, because m4 gts was not up to par against its similarly priced competitor, the 911 gt3 Not like I'm salty or anything for getting an e89 z435 instead of 987.2 cayman s |

Interesting.
I know a guy with a Z3 M coupe(I know somewhat different animal) that said how awesome of a hooligan car it is. I would have thought the Z4 was more of the same. |
