You'll have to shop elsewhere of BMW if you want something of a brute at any speed.

Personally I like something that makes you work "harder" for the reward. Call it more involvement. The older I get, the more I like older cars. Cars are getting too easy to drive.
Amen to that! My 996 GT3 was all about that....one of the most potentially punishing yet rewarding driving experiences of any car in automotive history. However, some folks just want an everyday GT car that does everything well and there is no better than the M3 no matter what generation.
