Sell the M4 quickly before it loses any more value, and pick up the M2 C which will have a fresh warranty and basically will be the same car. Then you have an M2 PE for track and the M2 Comp as a daily driver and if you like the DCT/S55 combo then you can do it again.

On a personal level , I was interested in the M2 but as I see it get heavier and heavier I get less interested. To me the PE edition of the OG M2 is the best as it is the lightest.

I've been more than happy with the power in the 1M so the S55 has little attraction for me. If I wanted to buy a 3600 Lb M car then I would get an M3, not an M4 or an M2 comp that weighs the same and has less utility for daily driving.



Having both a 3600 lb M2 and a 3600 lb M4 in the same dealerships also doesn't make much sense to me, other than if BMW continues to produce the M2 in low volume it will simply have dealers stepping clients over to the M4.
BMW, are you listening?

Make a small (no bigger than an E46 3-Series or 135i) car weighing no more than 3200-3300 lbs, with a hatch, 300 HP (no more than 350, not needed), with truly responsive steering, RWD, and a manual transmission. Call it anything you like, M-designation is optional. The interior need not be special, just tasteful leather, no tech overload, welcome gongs, and that sort of shit. Sell it for $47,500. You will blow the rest of the hot hatch market away, and re-establish your brand as being interested in drivers' cars.
