When reading through the Ford Focus RS Owners club site the other day, I noticed that a number of prospective RS Owners were cancelling their orders ( having a bit of haggle with some dealerships in getting their deposits back)  and defaulting to a good deal being offered ,with a much shorter deliver waiting list for the M2(?)

Interesting TG comparison review but no video. Sorry :http://www.topgear.com/car-news/review/twin-test-audi-tt-rs-vs-bmw-m2

I thought I'd add a non-link-embedded Video etc post (only 4 posts out of the first 31 just contain words and only two of those have anything to say about the M2 )

 

Anyhoo I have now been in an M2 as a passenger and loved it. it feels a little quicker than the M135 in a straight line, although not much and it doesn't sound any better than mine with it's MPE really. The handling is much more fun though. Firm but not spine crushingly so which was a nice surprise and the gearbox is very similar to in the M3/4, fantastic. The owner reckons it's the best car he owns from a driving point of view and he also owns a new 911 4S as well as a BMW i8. His client (a well known snooker player) didn't like his M2 at all as it was a bit too hard core! and sold it after a month for a small loss - it was fully loaded with Motorsport accessories. Although to be fair he didn't want the car in the first place, but took it as he was offered it at the front of the queue as he was a valued BMW owner (currently drives an i8 too)

So good to be able to be wordy, when name dropping.

 

Hope he is not related to the Very Dangerous  Name sake in the USA.

 

At least he had enough sense to ditch the M2.. lol  Not well advised by the management team then, as he should have made money on it and not lost.
