I get as much joy out of hearing my kids giggle uncontrollably during heavy acceleration as I do driving it myself. This is a car suitable for the track but safe, stable and comfortable for occasional family trips to the shore.

Some may say, for my use, as a fair weather commuter, M235 or 435i is the better option. But those cars both fell flat on my expectations of driving engagement and emotion. I don't give a hoot about power numbers or 0-60 times. I want something sexy, unique, pure, and engaging.

Personally, I really enjoyed the M235i (the 435i, probably not so much). But I'm the same way, I'm looking for fun and engagement for my next car. Something smaller than my E92 than I can throw around. Essentially, it'll be a replacement to my E36, which is a hell of a lot of fun to drive.
