As the title says, I’m looking to get my first BMW and I’ve whittled it down to a manual F87 M2C. I was considering an M3/M3C but I think I like the size of the M2C more.

Coming from a FWD biased AWD Golf R, how is the transition? Is the M2C more difficult to drive and learn the mechanics of a 400+hp RWD? Is the ride more compliant?

The Golf R is an auto and I absolutely love the Golf as my daily driver. Instead of trading up for the M2C I was thinking of adding the manual M2C for a weekend car.

Is there other BMWs or other cars I should consider? I was looking at 997 911s,981 Caymans, and E92 M3s but the M2C seems to have that right blend of modern tech and raw performance.

    Thabks for the insight! I’ve been going back and forth if I should add the m2c in addition to the golf r, or replace it.

    Tough because I want a manual for the fun and an auto for the daily. Are the c8 vettes actually selling for 65k? I feel like last I looked they were way about msrp.

    The ct4 blacking would be an interesting alternative. V8 manual 🔥
