You don't.
But that's cool. It's the internet so we can all play. 
There isn't an M2 by which to measure and know if it will outperform the M4.
Maybe it will, maybe it wont'.
M4 people want lux and NOT top performance?
Now you're just being argumentative.
It's much more likely that M4 buyers want luxury AND top performance and that is what the M4 has over the M235i.
If I got a free M4 there is NO way I'd trade it in on an M235i.
If you would really do that, then I'd say you don't know what you're doing.
But it's your choice to make bad decisions. |
Because MOST PEOPLE don't need a M4 to stroke their ego.
They can easily buy a pure track car like the M235i and throw some extra bits on it to get it to perform like they want... not withstanding BMW artificially lower it's siblings performance, because Lawyers & Doctors like to have #'s saying their lux-bomber M4 is "better"..!
Nobody thinks the new M4 is quintessential BMW... nobody! I would not own one if you gave it to me.. I'd sell it and buy a more proper BMW, like the M2, or a modified M235i..
why not?
Nothing wrong with that, it is just a different focus & direction than previous generations. Also, the smaller, lighter M-car will always pick up the track duties.
To me, BMW M has always had a spartan level of lux (see 1M, plz), just great engineering & craftsmanship. But now, since BMW's focus is less motosports, they now have focus more on features & lux to sell their M-cars..
