2. I can't get over the numb throttle and artificial sound even though I don't mind it. When I jump back in my E46 it just confirms for me that NA is where I need to stay. And character is important
3. The % of time on the street that you can utilise the power is very minimal for me, having track days like I came back from though is where is shines. But I need to stay realistic
4. The F80 is 3 times the price of my E46 here but it is not 3 times the fun or exciting. I haven't had the urge to wake up early on a weekend and take it for a spirited drive like I still do.
Any idea what you'll get getting next? The NA requirement definitely narrows down your options assuming you're looking at new or very recent cars.

(EDIT: Never mind. Saw the 981 GTS/GT4 post above.)
