Something I’ve always thought was actually written in press. There’s a quote from the lead Toyota Supra engineer that BMW knows it doesn’t make sports cars and that M cars are tarted up passenger cars. Which is why they agreed to do the z4/Supra (which benchmarked the Cayman). :shrug: So I’d opt for an M3 also. Because at least make the car useable. The M2 would irritate me because it’s not an M3 and it doesn’t sound as cool as a mustang.

Interesting. And makes it even more poignant and disappointing that BMW no longer imports its wagons to the US.

The weight of the M2 is the biggest issue. How can it be so close to the M3? That and the crooked driver seat. WTF. But just because something is heavy doesn't mean adding more weight and size makes it better. Unless of course you specifically want that space, in which case it makes sense. But for me, once a car starts to get that big I start to prioritize comfort over sportiness. . Last edited by rumatt; 05-23-2019 at 09:01 AM. |
