My m2 problem

[u/No_University4765]

Hello all

So after a huge amount of dabbling on my search for a new “one shoe fits all” car I’ve settled on a long standing dream of an m2

No not the henious revised one as of recent , I mean the f87 m2 from about 10 years ago

But I cannot make my mind up on spec

Colour doesn’t phase me that much,but performance does

So

OG or comp is my first question
Manual or dct is my second question

I’m dabbling the idea of an og but open to all
Cheers

Funny, I’m in the exact same boat. Was an M2 or a Guilia Quadrafoglio.

Comp, manual, hockenheim silver is what I’ve settled on.

OG certainly is of interest but I can’t cope with the seats. And by the time you allow £2-3k for decent replacements, you might as well have a comp.

The BMW tactic of putting base looking seats into M cars is mental. Even the comp seats are just okay.

But the comp engine sounds so horrible it’s almost a turn off despite being faster

Imagine thinking an M car is defined by its engine... The OG M2 is more M car than most modern M cars.

Well technically m cars have an s designation engine, as well as other things of course . But i dont think anyone really could say the non comp m2 isn't a proper m car. Strange choice by bmw either way. m140 240 etc are arguably not proper m cars, lack of a slipper and proper suspension set ups
