point taken. but trust me, my M3 is no grand tourer. my E63 felt way bigger. my 650 GC definitely was a fat grand tourer pig :

You could probably make another video of you just talking about the merits of the m2 vs cars like the m3/m4 and cayman, and throw it on YouTube and I'm sure you'd get a lot of traffic, as well as put all of these answers in one place. Just an idea |

These are the two cars that intrigue me the most right now and if I decide to get a new car, it is going to be hard choosing between the two.

And his car showed the number 2 in the windshield. Yours showed number 1. Therefore I deduce that he was directly behind you and his "moment" was why you and Bill Auberlen had to slow down and let the rest of the group catch up. Quote:
And man, you were going fast!

Pretty sure the Alfa Romeo Guiliia did a 7:39 around the ring and that is a 4 door saloon.

Is the Guillia smaller than the M3? I don't know much about that car but I thought I remember hearing that.

You guys are the lucky ones because cars cost so much more here! I once had the combination of a 997.2 GT3, 987 Spyder and E90 M3, and it was the perfect combination for all occasion. So I'm trying to recreate that by adding M2 to the GT4 and a 981 Spyder that's still on its way. Unfortunately my current M3 doesn't please me the way the E90 did.

So, when are you going on that roadtrip to Norway?
What kind of colour and options did you go for Marc? Congrats btw, awsome choice!

Calm down mate I was being sarcastic... FYI I've ordered an M2 and originally had an M4 on order.

I find it ironic the way we all praise more engagement, less autos, lighter cars, less grand tourers, etc.
However, the funny part is the fastest and largest ///M of them all (X5) will utterly destroy most of the cars we find to be lighter, more engaging, etc. Regardless of the OP's opinion, he is probably dead on in his description of the "feel" of the car and the enjoyment it provides, rather than focus on the numbers, something many times is secondary to many enthusiasts. Let this be known, I was a huge detractor of ///M as they went bigger, FI, etc but I have to admit haven driven every ///M they currently make other than this here spitfire and I can honestly say they are all special cars and would enjoy owning any of them. Will I always love and keep my S65 powered e92? 1000%. Will I probably have a X5 or M5 pig in garage soon? Yup. The me of two years ago would flat out drop me like a bag of bricks if he heard me now. Guess I'm learning to appreciate more things Cheers, e46e92
