Good on them either way, hoping to see more of these "smaller" cars on the road.
This photo below epitomizes BMW nowadays creating M car and a non-M together

It's growing on me. And it doesn't seem that expensive for what you get. Nearly 400BHP, AWD and the G20 chassis / interior.... Its an M340i lite...and the smaller dimensions are appealing. I have no idea why anyone would take a 440i over this.

Remember M2Cs were discounted to hell and back towards the end of the run, same with the M4. M2 was £1499 down and £499/mo at one point over here. The new M2 will be at least £60k, if you ask me. An E46 M3 was £40k new, things change....

Because not everyone is a car enthusiast and may value space, but the 4 series is ugly as sin.
