This is beginning to take shape nicely--where the 3 and 4 are starting to feel like spaceships (size-wise), the 1/2 has always felt more "right". And it goes back to the E46 feeling just about right.
The question I have, posed above, is in regard to the M2. Timing? Engine? Weight?
My 135 lease is up next December...maybe it will be time to buy a Honda Civic and just wait for the M2...
