This might be moved to 'Car Buying', but I really hope not as I'd prefer answers from people who're 'M' experts.
Having been looking at M4s and C63s for a while, my head has been turned by the M2. But then I looked at the M240i. Every review I've read on line says there's really not much to choose between these two, which I find hard to believe. Every 'Full Fat' M car I've ever driven has felt miles ahead of its nearest non-M equivalent.
The question to the 'M' specialists: How much better is the M2 than the M240i? The M240i has massive appeal because it looks just like any other 2 series, reducing the changes of random scrotes trying to steal it, either by following me home or breaking in to the house to steal the keys. But, it's not a full fat 'M' car. Most of my previous cars have been Porsches (currently have a Boxster S), so a little worried that the 240i won't be as good to drive.
What's the opinion on here of these two cars??

This is pretty much confirming what I thought. I know that neither will drive anywhere like the 987S, but I'll be able to get the kids in the back. I've noticed when I'm driving the Boxster that I look up (a long way) to people driving any 2 series, so I know it's going to feel tall and bulky by comparison.
M2C is certainly an option. Will have to try to get my hands on one and see.

Currently thinking that I might just keep my 987S, and get an M240i daily, followed by upgrading the M240i with a Quaiffe LSD to improve the handling.
The real appeal for me about the M240i is that once you remove the badges it looks like any other 2 series and is less likely to attract attention. I much prefer to be unnoticeable when driving - daily is currently a nice bland grey E Class.
As you can tell, I'm being indecisive which is unusual for me.
