Congrats on your M4 as well - love the color!
I have a manual 650 (actually 2...the e63 version is for sale). Honestly, it's virtually perfect. So it's not a track star, but I never take it to the track.

If you would have purchased a manual 650, I wonder if you would have gone to the M2. The 650 is better in every way (including acceleration), except handling.
I dont feel comfortable with a car as long as 196" (6er GC) with Manual transmission. I also not sure why you say acceleration is better. M2 is about 1000 lb lighter than 650i GC and have 360 HP (compare to 445 HP) so M2 has better power to weight ratio
