I like the look of the M2 for sure it looks great but 5 reasons off the top of my head to get the M4 is
1) carbon fibre roof
2) adaptive suspension
3) nappa leather with color options other than black
4) heads up display
5) more rear seat room

- Even with the carbon roof the m4 is still heavier. (m2 = 3450 m4 = 3530)
- Adaptive suspension sure, but i think the m2 rides fine so hopefully this new one wont ruin it.
- nappa leather ?! meh.
- HUD meh..
- m4 is barely usable, m3 yes totally. Id get the m3 anyways just because of the historic name and its a sleeper sedan.

I saw a decent looking M2 at the auction the other week and decided to take it for a run down their "test track" as I've always been fond of them. It was decently quick but fuck me did the quality of the build itself ever leave a sour taste in my mouth. It just felt cheap and awkward. I was shocked and I haven't even batted an eye at an M2 since.
Perhaps this comp package will bring a bit more quality to the table.

At least with the accents and wing it stands out a bit, instead of just looking the exact same as every other BMW. Germany has some of the laziest car styling departments.

I have a 991 GTS and a M2. The Porsche is a far more superior car in every category, except torque. However I still love driving the M2 any chance I get. The interior quality of materials are not the greatest, feels a little plastic, but you know what? I could care less because it is such a fun car. Yes it is not the lightest car, but it is the size and shorter wheelbase that makes the M2 a hoot!
For same on same money, I could have bought a 2015 fully loaded M4, but the M4 is a big pig with a laggy motor. It was not a fun experience Vs the M2.

oh man, the standard M2 is already a nice drive..
the comp pack will put the car to 120% and will be a riot.
Two things i asked for and it got: The seats and the twin turbo S55 unit!
this is gonna be a real car to drive!

F8X cars and the M2 have been quite reliable....
early F8X had a recall for having pebbles stuck between the brake dust shield and rotors.
That's all i've really seen so far at work. Not sure why people say theyre unreliable..... (mostly seemingly from people that have never even owned one....)

I don't think anyone can really say either way yet. If they were already having issues, after maximum 3 years, they would be truly pieces of garbage. M-cars are pricey to maintain, but usually seem to be more reliable than their run of the mill cars.

The M cars themselves seem to use a bit better quality stuff.
some of the components are a better build. higher quality hoses and gaskets/

There was a whole ordeal with the F80 S55 and crank hub problems leading to total engine failure. Not sure if its resolved yet or not. F80-M3-F84-S55-engine-crank-hub-issue
