If you have 4 doors, what is the point about souping up a practical means of conveyance. When I have passengers in the car, I want to get them there as safely as possible in a comfortable manner. Plus people weight a lot. Now I suppose if I lived in Germany and I drove the autobahn I would have a different opinion.

The M2 is different in that there is no sedan version of the model, meaning it is a pure sports coupe, and for me that makes it slightly more practical than my Z, plus it has a lot more zip than the 2-series. It looks cool too. This puts me in their target market (provided that they offer it in XDrive).
Just because something has 4 doors doesn't mean it has to be simply about practicality and efficiency. There is no rule that says only 2 door cars can be for performance. There are plenty of 4 door cars out there that are better sports cars than many 2 door cars.

BMW M2 Visualizer Shows Us Some of the M Performance Parts



From the article:
You might consider that the €12,000 difference between the M2 and M4 might be justified, but then again, you don’t get as many carbon fiber parts on the new model as you do on its bigger brother. With the M Performance parts, you can make up for some of that ground but not to great lengths.

Are you saying that the 1) Panamera is better than the 911 or Cayman 2) M3 is better than the M4 3) SS is better than the Corvette 4) Maxima or Q50 is better than the Z....

With that being said, the M2 isn't even a sports car. You are talking me out of even considering it 😝

I never once said any of those cars are better. I only said that your position on four door performance cars is ridiculous. It's as if you believe it is impossible for a four door car to perform "like a sports car" and therefore it's a waste. They should only be used for menial point A to point B transportation, according to you.

Ridiculous, I say!

Edit: Oh and the M3 and M4 are "about the same," however the M3 is better because it looks better.

The M2 will probably be more of a sports car than our front-heavy dump truck of a 370Z.

You have a good point there. Of all the mods that I have done so far, the Z1 rotors may have improved the feel of the Z the most. Arguably my favorite so far.
