For M2 money ..

 

.. you can easily buy a real sportscar aka the Alpine A110 smile


It's sad to see these M cars have grown so heavy, the extra weight has been compensated with delirious amounts of horsepower.
These cars are complete contradictions to progress, why ?
More traffic and the cars get bigger, heavier and at the same time a lot faster .... it should be the opposite because to experience true driving pleasure you have to go bonkers fast with these cars, they are simply too good.

A friend of me decided to buy a new Cayman GT4 and after the testdrive he simply went to Lotus and bought a secondhand Exige. With the Lotus he can drive 35 mph while still having fun. If he encounters a fast Porsche on some average twisty roads he can still shake it off his tail smile. The Porsche driver will only have real driving pleasure at high speeds.

But Porsches are indeed perfect,  sublime allround cars ... waaaaay to perfect for me luckily since I can't afford to buy one ... I think smile.
