Maybe yes, maybe no - when the M2 comes out, it is going to probably be in the mid 50's with few options. And around 375 BHP. Probably not a lot lighter than the M3/4.
That, to me, is a much more "fair" comparison because the major differences will really be styling at that point, assuming that the engine in the M2 gets "some" special ///M treatment and has the M3/4's underpinnings.
One of the things that makes the M235 so good is simply price. But when you're north of 50k and potentially pushing 60 for an M2, many people will weigh the M2 and M3/4 pretty evenly.
Now, if the M division somehow makes a handling monster/maniac and the characters of the M2 and M3/4 are very different, then you have more comparisions from which to draw.
Personally, I alwaysa thought the 2er was much better looking...until I saw the M3 and M4 in person. They're bigger cars for sure, so that matters. But they are very good looking too.
