BMW does not produce a chassis that competes with the 718 or 911 chassis . . . if they did, I would have no reason or desire to own a BMW. Once BMW inevitably trashes the M2C design and beefs it up to 4K pounds, not sure I will have any desire to own another BMW?

I think the 718 is really where the long time enthusiast moved to. Porsche got very serious with this platform. The PCA members in my chapter that seriously club race their cars almost exclusively moved to this size platform and away from the 911.
I love the Boxster/Cayman, only issue (other than the flat-4's) is that I think Porsche is limiting the potential of the 718 on purpose so it doesn't step on the 911's toes.
