I have been and continue to be impressed with ZF quality and shifting for an auto. The M will be set up even better than those above.
I truly do not think the ZF is a step down of any kind, truly a matter of personal preference that is influenced by vehicle purpose. It is a great transmission and arguably a better performance choice for the M2.
Enjoy what you buy, it is yours after all.
Main thing is that if you plan to keep any vehicle past 7 years or 70000 miles you need to truly understand lifetime from BMW perspective versus proper maintenance from the equipment suppliers perspective, such as ZF.

Totally agree. While I understand that a lot of people bought the G87 because of the manual. Going for the ZF is a really solid alternative. It might not be as fun but it is the best combo for a DD imo
