Theyre useful in one way: to combat the sentiments of those who claim bmw doesnt make any serious performance vehicles anymore. If an M2 comes within .01 seconds of a Caymen S or a Shelby 350 on a major track, to me, that blows a hole in that argument.
You guys honestly think track tests don't matter? Are Bmw M cars not meant to be performance vehicles? If they are, how would you quantify? Lap times do matter. The over stressing of 0-60 times however doesn't mean much after a point.

And I agree the m2 is great and the only current Bmw I would seriously consider owning but it's a sad state when only one car, the lowliest M car, is holding up the brand to many enthusiasts.
