To each his own.
I owned a 2015 M235i for 3 years. Then I owned a 2018 Camaro 2SS 1LE for the next 3 years. And 6 months ago I bought a 2021 M2C. Went to 3 HPDE track days each with the BMW and Camaro, so I have a feel of what they're like on a race track.
So the M cars now are "utter garbage" and "junk"?
Okay whatever. Everyone is entitled to an opinion I guess.
My opinion is that the M235i was a premium sporty car that was neither a sports car or a luxury car, but rather a combination. It was quiet and comfortable but was also fast and track capable in stock form. The Camaro was much more racecar-like all the time, stiffer, louder, and faster, but somewhat comfortable once nestled into the seat.
I don't know what your expectations for the M2C were after deciding it was boring after 15 minutes. Its performance is neck and neck with the SS 1LE, as documented by Road & Track with their head-to-head test at the Thermal Club track in CA. On the road, their summary was "Never, not for a single moment, does the M2 Competition fail to feel special."

I haven't tracked the M2C yet, but after 6 months I would definitely not describe it as "boring."
