You can do ED on a Porsche too. I did it on my M3 and it was great. I'm trying to find an allocation for an M2 to do ED again this summer/fall.

Thinking about one. I'd prefer a Boxster/Cayman, but this would allow me to do another euro delivery which I would love the opportunity to do. As apposed to the Porsche, it comes with everything for $52k, you need to add another $25k for the Boxster/Cayman S model.
I know Porsche does ED as well, but with the M2 I could do ED in 2017, for the Porsche it would be 2018 at the soonest.
I love our new house, but "money pit" barely scratches the surface.
If I thought snow tires on an M2 would make a safe winter car (doubtfull) I could ED in 2017 and just buy used Boxster in 2018. I would love that combo but I think an M2 with snow tires would have way too much torque and be all over the road unless the computer has a special "neutered mode".
My current 328i is not that powerful and is X-drive AWD, but driving in "ECO" mode it goes through snow like a mofo. I have not driven a modern stability/traction controlled RWD car with power in snow. I don't know how good or bad they are. I hear people say they are perfectly fine, but I like to drive relatively quicker than most in the snow, and not be limping along white knuckling it in the right lane. If it is snowing out, I am generally passing everybody.

Styling leaves something to be desired but the performance is on par

My understanding is that all the m2 cars are spoken for this year before they were built! I have just ordered a m3 and hope to get it within 90 days, will post a report on it then.

I'm not super excited about the M2. It might be because it lacks the visual excitement of the 1-series M. I saw a 1M on the freeway this weekend, and it looked damn cool.
Does the M2 sound like the turbo M3? My neighbor has the M3, and I think my naturally aspirated straight-six X3 sounds better.
