Question of the night: would you rather have a 2020 Toyota Supra or a BMW M2 Competition?

A   $4 k cheaper MSRP (6-cylinder premium trim level)  VS a 6-speed manual , what appears to be a hatch VS a reasonable backseat. Everything else seems about equal on paper and styling is a matter of taste.

m2 comp. i drove one and they’re pretty amazing. i get why people say get the m240 though, it is a very aggressive car to dd. (I kind of feel that way with the e39 m5 too...)

M2 Comp. Almost bought the base M2 and I still lu st after it. There's an amazing matte orange M2 Comp at my work recently and it kills me.

The M240i is damn near perfect once fitted with BMW’s warranty-approved, DSC-friendly clutch-type LSD.

I’d go for the M240i with a manual and only adding heated seats and steering wheel. Save ~$12k on the price of the M2, for a better road car .

In reality the savings would be more, currently there’s a $3.5k rebate on the M240i and $0 on the M2.

If I’m spending $50k on a BMW I will make damn sure they don’t forget the badge!

The best answer is buy the M240 2-3 years old at less than half MSRP

Have not driven either or anything too. s imilar-if I am spending that much on a vehicle it will be my daily, so likely the BMW for more space for people and things.  If bought as extra fun/entertainment car easily the Supra.  I think it looks kind of cool.

Manual transmission vs. that other thing? No question.

Not that I can afford it anyway , so the manufacturers can feel free to ignore my preferences ; the cost of a new base Supra or M2 is more than the last five cars I’ve bought, all put together.
