So if that's true then the cla45 shares a lot in common with pretty much any current model bmw since even the current m offerings are absolutely soulless to drive. There is nothing special about the m5/6 in the way they drive let alone the other m models. The cls63 has far more character and so do the offerings of the panamera. The current m5/6 are the complete antithesis of what bmw once stood for, being fun sporty sedans. While there's more competition now, I don't think they've done a good job since every comparo seems to have them at the bottom and IMO after driving them they just don't have it anymore.
The m2 sounds like a cool idea but BMWS lower model offering feel cheap and are pretty horribly designed IMO. The proportions are just off from front to back.
