Should I change from my X6M f86 to the M2 comp

Hello guys

I currently own an X6M F86 2016 (stock) and ive been thinking of wanting to get something more fun to drive
So i have been looking at the M2 competition 2019 with a nice list of mods such as:
Full akraprovic exhaust (downpipe + catback)
AC tune
Carbon fiber bonnet, mirrors, front lip, sides and trunk spoiler.

I will be paying around 30k usd + my x6m so basically im doing a trade in.

My x6m has a 98000 km driven
The m2 has 7000 km driven

What do u think guys

Already posted in the m2 section and they agree of changing

Sounds like they have the M2 priced high and giving you less for your X6M

Both fun cars, but not really substitutes, are they? I’d say keep the X6M and buy an older M2 to have a better time in either “mode”

I think you'll regret it. Having owned both an F10 M5 and F85 X5M for the last 3 years, I found myself driving the F85 90% of the time.

It’s pretty hard to beat the looks, utility, comfort of the SUV. But I understand the need for a sports car feel - more of a “scalpel” to accompany the “sledgehammer” to this thing. I am fortunate here.

In 25 years of car shenanigans I’ve never found a 1-car solution that checks all the rational and emotional needs boxes.

I don’t know how fun your drive is. But I have two friends with M2, who I smoke the crap out of daily on way to work. Well, when work was in office. I love the tech in the x5 way more than m2, and there is no replacement for displacement. The only things that make me smile in the M2 is the manual, and the go cart handling. Absolutely every other check box belongs to the f85.

I would consider an M4. Being brutally honest, the M2 looks corny and too small in the wrong places. Get a Porsche instead, if you're going that small and if you don't care about looks, which seems to be the case since you're considering a 2 series, save money and go for the GTi.

I would say get M2C and keep X6M if you can. If not keep X6M.

My fiancé has an m4 and I run both the X5m and M2C. There all so different it's hard to choose and everyone's needs and perspective are different.

For where I live the M2C is my favourite daily, it's clearly the lowest quality of the 3 but it just feels so right when I'm in it and it's small.

The m4 is viscous and you need your wits about you but has so much drama and

The X5 is like a quality chair in a quality living room that goes soooo well and it's mind blowing what the vehicle can achieve, a real credit to BMW. If I have a long drive the X5 is the choice, it's safe, comfortable quiet and very docile but you have that button which changes everything then it's comical when the usual suspects think it's a diesel.
