CAR WARS! NEW or USED? BMW M2 CS vs. Used Porsche 911 vs. Used Mercedes-AMG GT S...

This week BMW released pricing of one of its latest sports cars. Dubbed the M2 CS, it's a vehicle that BMWphiles have been pining for since the launch of the standard M2.

It's the most hardcore, road-going variant of the M2 that will exist. This is its swan song.

But for this exclusivity and power, of course, there's a price to pay. It just may be more than you think.

The M2 CS will start at a base price of $83,600*.

*NOTE: Price does not include title, taxes and fees.

That's an awful lot of coin for an M2. Although I'd argue it's the best BMW M car out right now, that's just a big ask. Even the most pure BMW fans have to be scratching their heads on this one.

You know why? That's because $85,000 can nab you two other lovely autos.

That would include a used Porsche 911 (991) Carrera 2S and, in addition, a used Mercedes-AMG GT S. While the M2 is good, the Porsche and Mercedes are SO much better. They're more focused and they're better looking — at least in my eyes.

Having said that, I've got to ask: WHICH would YOU rather? The all-new BMW M2 CS? The Porsche 911 C2S? Or, the Mercedes-AMG GT S?

Porsche 911 C2S. Do you even have to ask?

///AMG GT All day for the sound alone, plus the Porsche is all too common in Cali and I can’t forget what Jeremy Clarkson said about the 911...referring to it as a “squashed VW Beetle” and I simply cant unsee it

Actually, yes. I know some one who has an M2, non comp. Him and his wife think the $55k M2 is twice the car of their 911 that was $110k.
So, M2 CS easily.

Tough choice between the AMG GT and the Porsche. If you have the money for any of this toys you cannot go wrong with any of them assuming all you want is German. Nowadays you can pick up a nice used Shelby GT 350 for around $40K.

Then what would it be for you?

I'd take my GT350 or the Z06.

All three local dealers are owned by the organized crime syndicate of the area- sons of the last head. Not where I want to deal with.

AMG GT-S looks like more of a "special car" than the 991.1/2. If you've never seen a real one up close, it has a lot of presence. However the 991 will age more gracefully. M2 is not in the same league.

Definitely the 911. I can barely fit in the AMG, but it sounds freakin sweet. BMW will be unreliable and it’s ugly to me.

I think I would have to go with the AMG GT-S as well.
