I'm not talking about now. I'm talking about the direction that M is heading. I'm an M guy. I drive one and the M3 is the only car right now that still holds on to what M used to be about. And just a FYI, a C63 is not too far behind an M3 in handling. Outhandles? No, but damn close. If you disagree, you've never driven one. The new CLA45 AMG? Smoked our M135i. Our M2 better be on it's game.

Here you go. Please fast forward to the 11:11 mark where Angus MacKenzie speaks. Couldn't of said it better myself.

Funny you should ask that. Just got back from lunch with my customer who has a C63 which I've driven on several occasions. He loves the power, but hates the numb steering. He was coming from owning BMW's, too. He wanted a M3, but they stopped making a sedan and has 3 little kids. Guess what? He's getting a M3/M4 when it comes out because he misses the connection, steering, balance, etc. of a BMW vs. his Merc. The car is a beast and pulls like a freight train. But, does not and will not handle like a BMW for about the same price. We don't own crystal balls, but my money is on BMW to stay ahead of the competition when it comes their performance dept's. (AMG, Audi S, etc.)
