Instead of wasting your time dreaming of a new not so "budget M" use your 55K on a lightly used 1M, which will offer much better return in the foreseeable future and will forever be a classic. If you want a budget M, the M235i is your only hope
No thanks. I actually want to drive an M2 and use it, not have a collector car like a 1M that will sit there in the garage, and have me worry about its appreciating value. Not to mention the new M components such as brakes and suspensions are an upgrade too.

My plan is to skip a lot of options, to ED and break the under $50k barrier. Let's see if that'll be possible.
