This is the reason I went with the M240i; buying an M2 made no financial sense.
I waited until I could find the build I wanted (RWD, MT, no sunroof) at $10K off MSRP, put $14K into getting basic upgrades done, and then went to the track with a reasonably satisfactory street/track car. I've put another $2K in performance parts into it since; all-in, I'm at about $55K with a car that does pretty much what I want it to.
The only unsolvable issue is the weight. OMG...the weight!!!  |
At least you don't have to worry about the sunroof cassette! When I was looking for my car I only considered slicktops. When I got to the dealer I found out it had a port installed diff too! I instantly put down a deposit
