I love my M235i, which is not far off from an M2. The M2 has a wider body, quad exhaust and forged pistons/rods. Consumer reports has rated them very highly and the N55 engine is very reliable. A simple flash tune can net you over 400 HP and 400+ ft/lbs of torque and the damn car stops from 60-0 in something like 110 feet stock. I special ordered mine with a manual trans and a sunroof delete, I am hoping to keep it for 10+ years and put 200k on it. I have a BMW VM image I found online with all of the diagnostic software and the workshop manuals on it; very intuitive and not difficult at all to use.

The screen is actually well placed in the 2 series. It doesn't distort the view at all and you can easily save the function to turn the screen off to a preset button. It has a memory setting in the car so the screen wont turn on when you start the car. I wouldn't have purchased the screen with the car if it was offered though.
