I'm giving a little consideration to this too...the price point is right although I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics (profile kind of looks like a G37 and the the interior looks a little too busy). Fuel economy from what I've heard sounds pretty promising, especially coming from the M (I heard somewhere around 34 mpg). I'm kind of excited to see how the DCT performs and I would assume extra power would be fairly easy to come by too for relatively cheap. I am not expecting it to be as much fun as the M (especially given the front biased AWD), but maybe a little more practical for someone who never tracks their car.
