I don't understand why it keeps getting compared to the GT4, I can't take my kids to school in a GT4.

About the OG M2 suspension and M2C suspension: effectively, so far never a difference in suspension hardware was demonstrated between the two cars.
What could explain the difference in driving feel: the M2C is heavier (55 kg) and features a stiffened front end (CF strut brace in the engine bay) + re-calibrated software. Engine block weight ? During the M2C launch back in 2018, BMW told journalists that the S55 engine block inside the M2C itself only weighs 2 kg more than the N55 engine block sporting the OG M2 (mentioned for example in this Dutch video [06:35-06:37]). But of course there are the peripherals too, more cooling, CF strut brace, OPF, etc. explaining the added 55 kg. Quote:

I agree. Terrible review. Not much in the way of actual driving or real comparisons. A waste of my time.
Interesting that they thought the OG M2 was the best track car though. |

I think if he didn't own the M2C and wasn't biased, it sounds like the consensus is
OG M2, best deal and bang for buck. M2 CS, best M2, but you pay for it. M2C, ... . Again, the GT4 is not a comparison, no back seats, no trunk.
