I get that the f8x is faster, more efficient and is engineered to simply be better than the e9x. But in all the ways that are important to me, it's just not.
When I had my 335 and installed my performance exhaust, the sound of the crackle and burbling made my enjoy my car so much more. It didn't matter what newer cars were coming out with newer fancier technology and improvements. The way a car stimulates your senses with a throaty sound of the exhaust, a tight feel in the steering, or simply being more visually appealing (I think the f8x is overstyled, as Jeremy clarkson put it) is how I rate cars. Videos like this (for me) shows the f8x was a step backwards.
Again I know it's better, but just doesn't excite me the way an e9x does.
