Probably not. I have owned and LOVED an E39M and E90M (plan to keep a long time) and am just not that interested. Recently drove an M4, X5M, M6 GC and M750i and felt great getting back into my E90.

Things I love most about my E90M are:
-Unique Motorsport engine that is N/A, high redline, ITBs, sounds great
-RWD
-MT
-Good steering feel
-Not too big
-Not overly complicated

It's fast enough for me, so tell me how any current M car can improve upon or even match all of these attributes? M2 is slightly smaller/lighter but at the expense of 4 doors and a relatively meh engine. If I narrowed my search to coupes, I'd be looking at a GT350 or used Porsche, not an M2.

BMW M gives me no reason to update what I have (maybe one might be weight, but they'd gave to go further than the minor difference in the F80 M3) and no longer has much to set it apart from competitors.
