They judge F80/F82/F83 like a miss. Sure the first year F80 needed some knowledge to exploit but if you are a bit humble that's fine

. Glad I will be able to make my own opinion since I have had 2 F80s before my F87.

So , whats the truth bettween F87 and F8x M3/4. Why so many people moving from M3/4 to the M2 , and not vice versa? You had both , now you have one , ofc its a CS , but theres must be a reason as well !

M2 is the M3 size enthusiasts want. The current M3/M4 is bigger than the M5's we grew up loving. Styling is pretty but size is humongous.

Like kepler said I think the F87 has the good size for a sporty car. I live in the middle of mountains and the M2 feels more at home than M3 even if widths are similar between F80 and F87.
Must said I immediately fall in love with the CS which helped the switch too

Wow this guy really loves SUV's, huh?

The list seems more of less with the consensus over the years. Crazy to think the M2 might be one of the last real M cars. Very excited to get into one and enjoy the driving experience day to day.
