Even as a coupe, the body felt not stiff enough, the controls were mushy, they are just objets d'art at this point. Museum pieces. The doors feel great, analog clocks are cool, I get all that; but if you actually push it when driving it all falls apart (perhaps the suspension needed a refresh but generally it felt like an average e36 m3, not much better in body structure, handling or even acceleration).
AND believe me I want a 981 S but then you deal with prices like this.

Or ugly lipstick red interiors and higher miles for a better price
