I don't get the M2C love. It's way less good looking than an M4, tall and squished and mis-proportioned, has a de-tuned motor, no carbon roof, no special hood and weighs the same. It might be a little more flick-able but the M4 rotates extremely well so moot point. It is much smaller, so there's that, but if that were all that mattered we'd all be driving E36 M3s.

Honestly I think this is classic herd mentality. Has anyone actually driven an M2C and an M4C back to back on the same road and walked away legitimately more impressed with the M2C? If so, in what ways? I'm sure the M2C is fantastic, but better than an M4C (same tires and transmission)?

You want the M4 ZCP, ideally with a manual transmission, hands down.

F82 M4CS - car is dialed in from the factory to a T.

Driven a M2 CP, potent but nothing like my F82 Comp or CS. It's small too, I'm 6'2".

Why no F80 choice.

I’d get 6mt m2 cs among your choices. It’s a pretty hefty car for its size though

A simple youtube or internet search would show that most reviews prefer M2C to M4C when compared on track or road. M2C has been included in the best 10 sport cars of the year of almost all auto mags

I am not being biased here because If I were to make the choice (which i would do in few month's time), i would take M4c DCT over M2c DCT simply because of HUD.

Just remember HUD doesn't work with polarized sunglasses....

Not true. It's just dim.

depends what you need.

if you're keeping that X5 and just need something sporty to hold you over until the G8x series comes out... then an M2c isn't a bad choice since they are holding value much better than the M4s.

I have HUD in my current 520d and miss it dearly when driving m240i. I like driving m240i with paddles in manual mode and revving towards the redline which means I have to be gazing at the cockpit in order not to go beyond the redline. The M-HUD with its rev gauge would make it much easier

Before others say I should get a real manual car. I have a bad left leg and therefore not an option

Just got out of F80 CP into M2CP.

M2CP is my choice.


(6MT for both)
