I have done driftdays with it i have done trackdays wet and dry with it. The car is worth every penny. So much fun driving it. You need a very expensive car to give you the same thrills. A heavy german boat wil never compare. My M2c is for sale don’t use it anymore for trackdays.

Is the GR a lot more entertaining to drive? Is there anything that the M2 does better, beside raw power?

M2 is a better car if you use it as a daily driver. But on track the GR86 is the entertainer! You don’t have the m2 power so you need to be more precise. It more of a challenge I like it!
The M2 does everything. It s a compromise but for daily Comfort i rather have an X1 3.5i and for track i rather have a GR86. So i don’t get why bmw brings a new M2 at 1700kg Thats even more a daily driver And less for trackdays.
In the end everybody has opinions.

Doesn't work as a daily driver either, because it's only got two doors.
And I'm sure that they have a lot of fun getting out of the car to let the rear passengers get in or out. Especially when it's raining.

That’s the ideal. Have 2-3 cars to be truly happy.

Notes on GR86 vs M2
For similar money to a lightly-optioned 230i, it’s possible to get your hands on the pinnacle of the previous-generation 2 Series. The M2 is a fabulous machine, although even this brawny coupe can’t match the precision of the GR86.
