With the M2 running an upgraded N55 twin-scroll turbo versus the S55 twin turbo, will the M2 be a special vehicle over the long-term?

The M235 could potentially be upgraded to match the M2 with some mods:
*Exhaust: $2k
*LSD: $3k
*Tune: $2.5k
*Suspension: $2.5k
*Interior: $1k (excluding seats)
*Exterior: $4k
*Engine bay: $500

Either way, it sounds like it will be a great car.
In terms of size yes. The 2 series is very close to the old e46.

Can the M235i be upgraded to M2 spec? Yes. For USD$15k as above, it makes it the same price as a M2 but without the resale value.
