M2 Pe Vs C43 Amg Coupe
Hey guys! I'm new to the forums but have always been a lurker here, great forums great people! I'd love to hear your guys opinion as I'm in a bit of a dilemma. SO i pre ordered and put a deposit on the M2 Performance edition MSRP about 62.5K Manual, Supposed to be here mid april but im having second thoughts due to me paying more and getting less? If that makes sense. So i've been up and down youtube and forums just reading up on the M2's performance handling and its obviously amazing but my question to you guys is, Would you purchase a C43 AMG over a M2 PE? Thoughts on the M2 PE and your personal experiences with the C43 AMG.
(I do love the interior and back end of the AMG way more then the M2) Haven't test drove one yet. |

More highway driving Benz, otherwise M2. Two completely different things. M2 you'll lose less in depreciation but don't count on a huge premium for the PE.

You think i should wait it out for a regular M2 or just go with the PE? Probably lease a less expensive toy till my name is called?

I test drove the C43 AMG before I got my M4 and they are pretty good cars.
AWD helps with traction off the line and way better exhaust note compare to M cars but M will be faster and more fun to drive. |

I wont be discontinuing the M2 All together just thinking if this could be a good second option, as i haven't seen one in person yet so if im not in love at first sight may have to just pass it up, as white isn't my preferred color either.

I don't think the PE is worth it. It just strips out some comfort features and adds a few cosmetic items for a much larger price tag.
If there was an performance increase, it may be worth it. Not worth it for $10k+ over the regular M2. http://www.autoblog.com/2017/02/17/2...pension-speed/

I have a friend with an Alpine White M2. She had the M stripes put on the side and it looks awesome!

Have you driven both? Both cars are super sexy, Merc's interior wins and it's not even close. Bummer you can only get drab black interior in the Bimmer. |

If you really want the smart money play and can do 4 doors the leftover 450 is super cheap and basically the exact same thing, if there are still any floating around. Were last time I checked but that was a while ago.

C43 is the m240i of Mercedes - but Mercedes gave the c43 more AMG treatment than the m240i with M from BMW. The exhaust is awesome on the C43 much better than m2,m3/3 m240 etc. Both are great cars. I ended up with the m240i bc I was leasing and wanted a 3rd pedal. M2 lease was ridiculous terms. C43 had nicer wheels, nicer seats, 4matic ,more power, and litte more luxury on the inside. C43 is horrendous for their Navi system, no carplay, crappy sound, higher MF and the car weighs more. |

The performance edition negates what makes the M2 so desirable, adding $10k to a $52k base price with no discernible benefits.
C43 is a 440i with MPPSK competitor. I'd pass on both cars and look at other alternatives.

But the thing is, performance wise, they are in the same class. 440 performance doesn't stack up with the c43. I really think Mercedes made a killer of a car in a segment that didn't exist with the c43. If BmW made a m440, and priced it in the 60k range, I might've been driving that. |
