Chris Harris and Andreas Preuninger of Porsche
Just watched the beauty video of Chris Harris getting a tour of the GT3 museum at Porsche.
It's amazing if you're into that kind of stuff. I can imagine that Chris would do an equally great job if he got a tour of a BMW museum. Definitely something I would watch! So, BMW...when are you going to give us a light weight M2 with a non-turbo six (like the S54), capable of very high RPM, manual tranny? Truly a drivers car... That's what I think the M2 CSL should be, not another iteration of a Comp/CS. |

The future
It’s kind of depressing that the brands that we fell in love with have moved on from developing reasonably priced enthusiast cars.
The M2 CS has had great reviews, but it’s $100k in Canada. I would be happy to have an option of an M2 with a non turbo engine (but full of sound and character), sensatec seats, no iDrive, RWD, manual, priced around $60k. Yes, it would be slower, but I wouldn’t care. |

Being an M car guy for 20 years I am gradually moving to Porsche.
The way BMW makes their M cars recently doesn’t inspire me at all. M5C is gone after 12 months of ownership. M2C is very likely to be changed to either Cayman GTS or Cayman GT4 next year. |

It’s funny you said that. My M2 lease expires next summer and I’ve been finding myself more and more ending up on the Porsche website to find a replacement.

As for the I-drive - its going to look really old in 5 years. When I was buying my Z4M I insisted on finding one without Nav. Have you seen what the nav looked like in 2007? The M2 screen will look antiquated in the near future too. I actually really enjoy my M2 when the DSC is completely off, except for the fact that if I screw up I don't have any traction control to save my bacon. Like a lot of us on this forum, I wish there was a rev-match "off" option in MDM mode. That would help feel more connected to the car. As for the sensatec seats - I don't want them. But the leather in my LCI M2 is not great. Other M cars have great leather, but the OG M2 doesn't. And as for an e46 M3 - they cost as much as my residual on my M2. And good luck finding one... |

Rare cases, or none at all can be argued that performance has not moved forward. Absolute performance in its own right certainly is not the point for everyone, but it sells cars. I'm satisfied to hang on to my 10 year old Porsche, consider holding on to my few years old BMW, and give regular thought to swapping it out for something a bit more in line with the days gone.. a bit lighter, a bit smaller, a bit more feelsome feedback.. |

Most likely it isn't even possible with all the government regulation...and that's a shame. |
