it's faster than the $65k "real" M4.
If you want an M4 that's faster than the M2, you'll have to pony up $135k for the GTS model. The M2 is a far better deal by comparison.

When will the electric steering hate meme die?
The MR2 for example, had it and it was great. Just because it's fucking electric doesn't mean it's bad in principle. Personally I find it far more predictable than a pump driven system. Electric systems only tend to be shit when the ECU attempts to control parts of the steering for things like stability control and other shit. That interference is generally what annoys people.

When $3000 cars have it, so that all the /o/tists can afford them an try it,
>>14861590
Because BMW cucked themselves by making the M2 faster than the M4 proving that BMW is a brand for badgewhores.

You can get MR2s and RX8s for that much, both have good steering feel and feedback and electric steering.
To add, because it's the closest to a modern E36 M3 out there and not pigfat and huge

I am so confused by what you said.. why couldn't it be faster? All americans seem to think "more expensive = more fast"
The M2 is supposed to be the faster, sportier one of the bunch, while the m3/m4 (all since the e46) was supposed to be a grand tourer.
>>14861781
this right here. had a saturn with electric steer... what a total piece of shit. drive my brother's bmw.... night n day difference
>>14861781
Honda Civics have used EPS since '06, I'm sure you can find one for 3k by now.
the 235i is better

>All americans seem to think "more expensive = more fast"
That's probably because sportscars by definition are inherently about being fast and offering an exciting driving experience. The 2-Series is just a smaller 4-Series and the M2 and M4 are both sportscars furthermore they are made by the same manufacturer. For all intents and purposes, the more expensive car should offer something more in the way a driving enthusiast can appreciate so that he is more willing to spend an extra $15k. Being slightly bigger doesn't cut it.

I like my cars like my women.
Older than 18 years, slim and with character.
>>14862452
Let me know when you're rich enough to afford an E30 M3.
>>14862464
When the price is the same as the M2
>>14862452
Funny, my car is like my woman, non existent.
>>14862470
I'm sure it will be just as reliable, having no warranty is no big deal. Not like it will cost you anything in maintenance.
>>14861764
NSX and S2000 used electric steering as well, /o/ is just filled with idiots

>he doesn't work on his own cars old or new
the electric power steering is actually good, they took time to tune road feel into it.
the engine's non M but has enormous tuning potential
the price is rather high though
>>14861590
Because it's the cheapest M car ever made, it will be mass produced so it will be widely available, it has decent price/performance and it's one of the most fun new cars you can buy today.
>>14863522
Why don't you sell BMWs? Is it really worth it shilling out this garbage for free on an anime imageboard?
>>14863534
he's shilled out much worse, the m2 is actually good
really, the only good car bmw makes right now
>>14863534

I am literally just quoting the M2 reviews
I have no idea what the car is like, i've never even seen one irl
