But it’s not here yet, so a story will have to do for now. I posted it on my own website, as it’s easier than dealing with kinja on my phone
It was a wild ride - hope you guys enjoy the story!

Why the 4 and not the 2?

They felt the same to drive and even weigh the same, so it came down to complete subjectivity. I like the design and cabin of the M4 better, as well as how I look in it. A bonus was the availability of an individual color on the M4.

They...weigh the same? Lol they do too! The M2 is shorter, but wider and taller.
I’d say the entire point of that car is to be smaller and more nimble than the M4. That’s literally its reason for existing. God you may as well put them at the same weight as the M6 and 8-series and call it a day. Hell the X7 is 2400kg, why not make every BMW 2400kg? WHY EVEN HAVE DIFFERENT MODELS IF THEY’RE N O T D I F F E R E N T
Great job BMW. Must be a German thing. People buy ze cars, so ve make ze new niche, and people buy zem! So we split zem up into new niche, new niche, we stop even development, make all cars ze same - still zey sell! X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X9 X10 it makes no matter! M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7....

My thoughts exactly! The explanation is that the M2 is all steel to save on costs, while the M4 uses a lot of aluminum and carbon fiber.
Choosing the M2 (and its compromises) didn’t seem like the right call, since it’s smaller to hit a lower price point, rather than to be more nimble.

Ah yes. I guess that makes sense. Should be substantially cheaper if that’s the case

Looks pretty similar to my car search a couple years ago which resulted in my 981 Cayman S. Just a great range to look for fun cars!!!

There’s a ton of choice, even in this day and age! I have zero doubt you’re enjoying your Cayman
BTW, what were the other cars you were considering?

F Type, C7, GT350, M2 and M4, and the Cayman Base and S

Nice group of cars! What made you choose the Cayman S over the others?

F Type was too heavy and not enough storage. C7 was amazing but too low and too powerful to have fun dailying around RI roads. I had a 14' GT so the GT350 just wasn't different or small enough for my new interests. M2 was too heavy, M4 was essentially a luxury mustang gt that I was driving, and then I had to get the S because going from a mustang to a base Cayman was too drastic at the time.

Also super ironic how I was ready to pull the trigger on a ‘14 GT back when my story started haha

Oh weird! Lol really great car for the price. Great value. I only traded it because I wanted some big change in my life. Do you have a miata? I have a 99 miata now too lol

No Miata, but I do have my modestly- modded 2003 Jetta 1.8T. Close enough, I suppose haha

Sweeeeeeeeet I shall bask in your reflected glory while I daily my Volvo XCDadWagon70. I can’t complain, as it is a nice car and all, but in comparison to my 3-series wagon, it lacks in every way but space.
Cheers, have fun, and post more pics when you take delivery. Congrats!

You said Comp Pkg in your post, but those aren’t Comp Pkg wheels (666M)...

With the Comp Package, you can ‘downgrade’ to the base nineteens at no extra charge, as did whoever ordered this car originally . Those exact dark 666Ms are what I want to get for the car, though.
