M2 and M2C are excellent cars, but a standard SS 1LE will destroy them. (in stock trim, alignments and sticky tires) The CS....that's a different story, amazing car. That track was probably the worst track you could ever test a ZLE on and a great track for the CS.

M2 is cool as hell but for 85k I’ll wait and order a c8 z06.

I like the Mach 1 but the fact that Ford Canada would not let them track it, I wouldn't buy one just for that.

Yeah. M2/comp is not even close for stock SS 1LE. Although not tested that I have seen, SS 1LE is still gonna be superior to the CS, though I acknowledge the CS is pretty cool for a 2 series (M stands for marketing, dont forget). ZLE is not comparable to any M car on a road course...the ZLE might as well be from another galaxy

All those m cars are sweet, but the exhaust…not so much.

Owned an E92 and E90 M3 a while back before the Camaro. Awesome sounding engines and nothing like the cheap turbo crap they release now. The enjoyment is gone.

After 6 months, I traded my ‘18 M2 for an ‘18 SS 1LE and cash. I still have the 1LE, one of the few cars I’ve kept past its original warranty period. It’s just that much fun. The driving experience for the M2 was a major disappointment. I really wanted to love the M2, but it seriously was no more interesting to drive than my 90-year-old mother’s Nissan Altima - and the quality of the build was extremely disappointing. FYI, there will be an all-new M2 released in a year or so; the rest of the 2 Series will be released in a few months.

Did you drive it to the mailbox?

Sometimes … but also around town, backroads, Interstates and everywhere but the track. It was largely the fault of the DCT and the controls that were overly complicated and ridiculously time-consuming, rather than logically functional. I really wanted to like the M2, but of the dozens of cars I’ve owned, I’ve never been more disappointed.

I like the M2 and had a manual one on order before a markup fiasco led me to my 1LE. Originally I was split between the cars and the Euro delivery program was the tiebreaker.

A friend of a friend just picked up a CS; perhaps it's time to get buddy buddy with him and test it out!

Same reasons I got rid of my M car. Engine sound through the speakers and having to rev near redline to have any fun (always worried about something breaking).

My 1LE is a beast at any speed and I can see keeping this car forever.
