Interesting feedback!

While not exactly the same car, one of my friends had an M2 and did instruction on it with PCA and BMW clubs last year. He was gracious enough to let me drive it around the track a few times and we both agreed, it was sterile and not all that exciting.

Don't get me wrong - it was a fantastic car, but you always felt wanting more out of the car, especially it being an M car. Around town and whatnot also felt the same. He sold the car shortly after.
