The BMW M2 & M2 Competition Thread

"Is the M2 the best M car I’ve driven to date? With experience of both the E46 M3 CSL and, more recently, the SA-spec E92 Frozen edition it’s difficult to say whether the newest M can match either of those two in terms of exhilaration. But then both of those older cars featured heavily modified soundtracks to complement their respective performance levels. While BMW says there currently aren’t any plans for a lighter, meaner M2, perhaps a slightly more brash exhaust note (to heighten rather then necessarily improve on the current gruff tone) is all the fastest 2 needs in order to assume top spot in my outright M rankings. Either way, it’s easily my favourite modern M car and will take some beating should one of the limited number of South Africa-bound units still be available for our annual Performance shootout."
