We've had it since September, and it's my wife's main car. In posts further down in that thread I point out the things like driving position and seat that I much prefer the M2C to vs the E90 M3. I have no plans to sell the E90 M3, but I've often thought of how I'd feel if I had to replace it with the M2C. I'd really miss the S65, but I think I would get over that eventually. I'd also miss the 4-door utility of the M3 for when it's needed. Now vs an E92 that's a bit different being a coupe-to-coupe change. There is so much to like about the M2C (seats, better steering wheel adjustment range (I need this), closer gearshift location, S55 brutal mid-range torque, fantastic brakes, much better M-active LSD vs the Visco-Lok, sharper turn-in, crisp handling, smaller overall size, significantly better gas mileage especially on highway, etc...).

We actually bought the M2C with the plan of flipping it right away if it wasn't a decently done car. Neither of us have cared for post-E9x era BMWs, so we assumed the M2C might likely be disappointing...so far it's been anything but that. We plan to keep it a good while.
