If I could get over the looks, the fact that the M2 does not feel unique or as special on the road (vs normal traffic), and just cared purely about performance or numbers, then YES; the M2 would be a better option given its S58, and its updated interior and rear seats.
Agreed. The F87 M2 is by far the nicest looking modern M car. Very classy overall.Look at this monstrosity compared to what it used to look like
Good photo showing the comparison from the F87 to G87. What made the F87 special was it's small compact size.Look at this monstrosity compared to what it used to look like
I still love that blue and wish it was available on our cars. It’s almost the Gulf blue that is so fantastic.Look at this monstrosity compared to what it used to look like
Funny. GO drive an M2 G87 - the track data is also impressive. The S58 is amazing.
Fake steering and brakes? The M2 is an M4 from the motor to the chassis to the brakes/suspension. Go drive one. You have zero rational opinion based on your post LOL. Takes very little to post what you did. Try thinking and actually having knowledge of the platform to begin with.
Watched it. Just can’t do it the way it looks. Lots of other options. Same reason I didn’t purchase a FK8 Type R, which is an amazing drivers car, but looks like a five year olds robotech drawing.Funny. GO drive an M2 G87 - the track data is also impressive. The S58 is amazing.

Oh I did drive it, pretty hard actually since I was thinking about swapping Supra for an M2 and had hours with the car, could do whatever I wish with it. Why would I talk about a car I dont have experience with?
When I was shopping for my next fun car a couple years back I was seriously looking at F87 M2's as a possibility. Love the looks, however when I drove a couple I was seriously disappointed in the steering feel and secondly the sound of the engine. I couldn't believe how much better the Supra steering was. Ultimately I decided I didn't want yet another performance car based on an economy car, as I had Evos for almost 20 years, with brief stints in Fiesta ST's and Golf R's.
F87 N55 steering was DEAD, esp when I was driving early model 86 back then. M2Comp improved a lot in that matter. But g87 is imo worse than m2c regarding steering. Overall M2Comp was my fav M2.
That's interesting to hear. I only briefly test drove a 2021 car and noted that it felt pretty numb all around. My 2023 is still numb, but the steering at least has better feedback which is nice.
2019 Supra was numb when it 1st came out (esp dead on the centre), but still better than M2C. 2021 is better, coz its after 1st steering revision. 2023 is again better on feedback, coz 2nd steering calibration happened. I'm not power tunned yet so maybe there will be update next year so I'll do that and than tune, for now suspeniosn brakes etc
Also front sway bar helps with feel, coz there is less delay for steering inputs.
IDK. I actually like the G87 up against the F87 here. That blue also looks really good in person IMO. Maybe my head injuries are at play again though.Look at this monstrosity compared to what it used to look like
