Those of us with kids, extra seats are a must. If my kids were older I'd certainly be cross-shopping C7 and Cayman. M2 will be a 3rd car but I still want to be able to enjoy the car with the whole family. I get as much joy out of hearing my kids giggle uncontrollably during heavy acceleration as I do driving it myself. This is a car suitable for the track but safe, stable and comfortable for occasional family trips to the shore.
Some may say, for my use, as a fair weather commuter, M235 or 435i is the better option. But those cars both fell flat on my expectations of driving engagement and emotion. I don't give a hoot about power numbers or 0-60 times. I want something sexy, unique, pure, and engaging.
