To suggest that the M2 isn't a //M vehicle because it's maybe missing a few bits and pieces other M vehicles have is equally silly - IMHO.
The M2 has shown itself repeatedly to be more FUN and FASTER than the M4 - and that's what should really matter in an M vehicle..

I would disagree. Speed is only one element of the difference. The bits and pieces are what makes an M car (at least nowadays) an M car. But its all academic in the end. Its more about very brilliant marketing for a company that needed it. Lucky, in the two series at least they build three brilliant cars no matter which badge is chosen.
