For sure. Got a call back from the dealer moments ago. Three allocations available with expected build 04/22. So I'm voting with a deposit and order today

I will say though, you can't completely disregard all of Porsche after driving their entry level car.

Thank you!
Point taken on Porsche. One thing I'm considering though is comments from many owners that the Boxster/Cayman is more engaging than current 911's perhaps because the limits are so high on a 991.1/2. However, I felt that was already the case even with the 718 I drove. Though I suspect my complaints with the engine would mostly be addressed with the 2.5 and its variable vain turbo.
Also worth noting that as a MX-5 fan I'm used to cars that feel like they're on the edge at 30MPH haha. I think it's a hard recipe to create a car that is both extremely capable, yet still feels fun and engaging at sane speeds. My limited seat time in the M2C tells me BMW somehow nailed the formula. In fact in the Smoking Tire review by Zach Klapman he described the M2C as BMW's Miata
