Just sucks in the M2, that you can't put it in "comfort" mode, ever. That would be my biggest gripe as a daily driver and the reason to stay in the M2xx series car, for me. Throw a set of Dinan springs in an M2xx car, and I feel you'll lose a lot of the softness and body roll bringing it closer to a true "sporty" feel, and the appearance of a lower stance. All of course, without the need of full body coilovers. Combine those springs with the sport suspension setting and it'll be pretty tight IMO. I haven't installed mine yet as I'm really enjoying the stock suspension as the car is pretty new, still. But really looking forward to the springs and m3/4 control arms in the new year.

Pretty excited too, as a friend out of Kelowna is taking possession of his M2 soon and we will be able to do a seat swap on one of our mountain 'tours and I'll be able to see for myself the difference between these two cars. It's such a subjective topic, that I really try not to follow the general reviews or get in on the M2 vs. conversations as I've never driven one, lol.
