Compare an M2cs with 450hp and the new M2 on track with same brand and tire size.
I can tell you which one is faster. The lighter one.
I drive with my 950kg 345hp e30 m3 DTM 91 spec race car faster times then a new M2 cup car from bmw motorsport with 450hp and 500nm. Thing weighs 1500kg in race spec. Please! It flies thru brakes and Tires. My 950kg DTM is faster and has hardly wear on brakes and tires.
Weight kills the fun in any car. BMW knows that but they keep on building bigger en heavier cars. People are still buying into it so why start engineering on lightness.
I enjoy my 1M with lighter recaro seats. It is low in the 1400kg now and for me that is acceptable 1700kg isn’t
Next to that the new M2 is way to big! The size of an 1M coupe is perfect. If i want a bigger car to go with my family i buy myself an m3, m4, M5, X3M or an x5M choices enough. But choices for a nimbler smaller lighter car are not there anymore at BMW M! A big loss for us driver enthusiasts.
Thats why i have bought a GR86 (1270kg) and a GT4RS (1415kg) and keep my 1M Coupe (1440kg) Cars i love to drive.
I am willing to invest in a new BMW M but not what is offered right now.

I think the world will come to terms with it.
At first I thought you had no idea what you were saying, now I am sure, the amount of nonsense you talk is too vast to be addressed in one post.
