Probably nothing, Shel. But I don't have an M2. :-) I have or have owned an M3's, M4, M4-P, M5. I am simply going on what I have owned or was told by respected repair persons. But you are right that contempory M's should be of similiar build quality.

So what makes the later M3s better built than the M2s built at the same
time?

I've an M3 built around the 1,000,000 mark, and an M2 built just a scosh
later (1,002,XXX or so), and I just don't see or feel any difference in
build quality.  Both have recently been overhauled and brought up to spec.

I would have to agree that the M3 is probably the best built of all of
the
Leica M's. I have two M3s and find them to be very smooth and very quiet
to 
operate.  Workmanship was said to reach the pinnacle at serial numbers
approaching the 1 million mark.
