On my latest trip in the mountains a friend joined me with his 2017 F80 M3. We used to have a blast together in the past with our 1M cars high up there. Well, this time behind the wheel of his M3 he was struggling to keep up with my M2 and another 1M. Straights: effortless M3 power display. Sequence of turns/curves: the M3 fell short, time and time again - "not as nimble/agile". But, yes, on a race track the M3/M4 will normally clock better laptimes than the M2.

Not necessarily. Start watching at the 4min 5sec mark:

Or just jump to the 6:05 mark to see the results,

Or Ill just post them here around one lap at Willow Springs:

M2- 1:22:73
M4- 1:22:94
