What was it exactly that disappointed you the most? I had a tuned F80 so that will be my baseline for comparison but it was DCT so I got bored pretty quickly. I have a deposit down for a base M2 6mt so I'm curious to know your thoughts.. I've not driven a 2 series of any kind including the M2.. never a 1 series either but I did have a e92 335i back in the day lol |
It depends, if manual will save the car for you, but here is my experience...
Power... simply not good or impressive, this will be a massive downgrade from the m3
Chassis stability - not remotely close to the longer M3
suspension and body rigidity - felt like my 135 on koni yellows... the m3 feels like a racecar
Low rent interior - not really a deal breaker
Overall, I would say its simply an overhyped car, w decent weight and balance... Again, in no way did it feel better than my old bolt on 135i w suspension mods. Just in general, non impressive car... I urge you to drive an m240, bcuz its not that far... if manual and this weight / size interst you, then you may be happy w it but overall its a serious step down from an m3. Probaby the most overhyped bmw I have ever driven.
