I like the e9XM (albeit less than the e46), so I mean the following as matters of degree.

Faster lap-- in a different class. Sooooo... why do we care again?

And, many of the others don't-- it's larger, heavier, uses more gas, uses bigger tires (and uses them up faster), and has worse steering feel.

I never actually tried in my e9X, back when I had it-- do 4 track size tires fit in the back seat?
