Potential new owner
Hey all,
I am potentially going to get a new M2 competition soon, and I will be coming from a standard M4 (modded). Anyone else done a similar change? Would love to hear what your thoughts are as I don't want to regret the change :

I have done a track day with the M2C, M4C and M5C and the most fun car on the track was the M2C and most participants agreed as well on this. Depends on what your priorities are for the car and if you plan on using it as a family DD or a fun weekend toy. But the M2C definitely is a great car to drive. |

You might miss a HUD or some other creature comforts like ambient lighting, nicer Merino leather, ... if you can live without this, no problem. The car has cruise control, heated seats, H/K stereo, nav, ... it's not basic basic either. Did you go for a test drive? |

I do love my HUD, but it's not a decider. So will be looking at it properly soon and decide on jumping ship Here is a pic of my M4, which is pushing out about 513bhp

Err, it's actually an apple and orange comparison Stock M4 definitely felt faster than stock M2 competition. They have the same engine, a tune levels things out but remember the M2 is a short wheel base car and has a completely different behavior than the M4 M2 is a lot more nimble, it will give you a different type of satisfaction than the M4. One thing you need to accept is that the interior will feel a lot less premium. M4 has proper luxury leather while the M2 has the cheap Dakota one. M2 cockpit isn't all that bad but you'll never sit in it and think "this is an expensive car". My 2 cents

The one that does bother me though is the power, so I hope I can get that sorted (however warranty is an issue). I initially had a jb4 and now bootmod3

Dinan and a few others offer their own warranties with a tune but at a premium Stock power isn't bad though, it's a good match for the cars size. Could be better on the top end but on the low end you really don't want anymore. The first M4's had crazy traction loss on the low end iirc, base yourself on that

I moved from an M4CP to an M2C and don't regret the move.
As others have said, the interior is a bit low rent but extremely functional. My M4 had full leather which lifted the cabin a great deal. I genuinely think the M2 handles better than my M4 did even though it's on passive suspension. It also a better size, feels more nimble and planted and I think it looks fantastic. Both cars are great IMO.

Hated adaptive on M4C and just left it in sport. Comfort was too floaty and Sport + too harsh. |
