This is definitely a first world problem, but now that the Tesla tech amazingness has worn off, I just drive it around like a minivan. Whenever I hear Elon Musk talk about the next advance in self driving, rather than being appropriately excited, I think.. oh great, so we will make driving even more boring.
I test drove a M2C about a year ago and my reaction was.. "it's alive!" I loved it. But at "my age" I'm debating if an M3/M4 is more appropriate. Or even a 911, although I'm loathe to spend that kind of money on a car. Is the M2C more of a car for 20 year olds or 30 year olds? This sounds like a stupid question in my head even as I type it. But it's a thing. You know, I shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans at some point either (not that they fit me, but you know what I mean).

I'm 55, and I am buying the M2C because it's the best bang for the buck BMW currently offers, and possibly their best performance car. I thought about waiting for the new M3 since that will also be available with a 6MT, but I think the M2C fits my lifestyle right now for the following reasons: Kids are grown, so as empty-nesters, we don't need a 4-door sedan anymore; we moved to Florida from Michigan, so RWD is now okay all year; and the small gas tank with need for frequent pitstops will be a perfect match for my need for frequent pitstops.
