Who doesn't want a 300 hp car that does 0-60 in 4.5 that gets 40 mpg? It has an noise...its just different. Much lower tone than the scream of the flat 6. Sure the flat 6 sounds better, but I can give that up for the other improvements and the smaller carbon footprint.
So it's slower 0-60 than the M2, and more expensive. Maybe faster around a track. The M2 is still the better value proposition.
Correct. BMW does provide more value and Porsche provides better exclusivity and overall performance at a price about 35 percent higher
