I'll take driving involvement and fun any day over a modern f series BMW and all that brings with it.

I think many others would as well, which is the reason for the original statement.

I find very little in common between the m2 and e46 m3 aside from 2 doors and a lot of marketing.
Couldn’t care less about the “regular” M2. The M2C on the other hand...

The F80 is a beast, and pushing one on the track as much as I dare gives me a bigger kick (and scare) than any previous M efforts. That’s why I’m getting a second one. And yes, with a manual transmission to keep the thread on track.


I may not be interested in the next gen M3 because they keep increasing the size unnecessarily. The M2C (current and next gen) still holds some promise, or maybe a second hand Porsche. All with a manual.
