Which would you rather have: F31 or M2

I think the choice is obvious. Wagon. All. Day.

I have not sat in a 2 series, I'm sure they drive great but I'm pretty tall and just barely fit in a 3 series. So, F30 by default for me.

That F31 needs a damn bath. Looks like it just got pulled out of a flood.

I haven't driven the M2, but I think the F31 is one of the best looking BMWs on the road. If the F31 were available in the US in 335/340i/M3 Form with a manual gearbox I'd take it over anything

I live in Manhattan. She sleeps on the streets. Don't have access to a hose. Gets a bath once a month. She does have opticoat pro and xpel, so that helps. She was washed last Sunday, but this is what happens after a week of driving in the city. Living here is not for the faint of heart...

I still bought one because I couldn't resist the looks (and practicality), but I couldn't agree more about needing 6 cylinders and a stick.

I'm in the same boat. Really difficult to keep a car clean when parking on the street in winter. X-drive has probably save my back already plus few hours shovelling.
