I've such a soft spot for the e46, my first BMW I went from a diesel Astra company car to an I6 328i! Pretty much thought I'd made it there and then at 23 or something. Still love that look today. Viva la e46!

I'll chime in here.

I think the M2 could be my next car. With my STi paid off in 8 months, I have been trying to figure out what to do. Figured the STi can be daily/track with the M2 weekend/track. Or the other way around.

Z4 35i is my daily driver. Turning in early for the m235xi or I wait for the M2 and deal with a winter wheel setup. I think the M2 will be worth the hassle.

That's the sensible option on my short list. Big jump from F10 but please review, how does it compare to BMW in terms of driving engagement?

Which BMW would you like me to compare it with? Well - as far as the F10 with the 4-banger I had - it's a much better car "in terms of driving engagement"; in fact this is why I sold my 528xi and ordered the M235i.

Compared to the R, my 528xi was just too big, too heavy, looking gorgeous and prestigious but when I tried to drive it close to the limits, it started behaving dangerously (understeering all of a sudden, or needing twice as long distance to stop as the R does, not to mention the throttle lags that were never cured and nearly cost me a serious crash more than once, etc.). On the other hand, the R has tons of grip, is absolutely neutral in cornering behavior, has no lags of any sort, is tossable and obedient; you just have to drive it fast but doing so, you still feel safe.

Of course we're on the M2 forum, so no comparison between my R and what M2 is going to be - but I hope the M235i will actually be quite comparable. So you might ask why 2 similar cars? Well - I share them with my wife, plus I miss RWD when driving AWD while AWD is sometimes good for Polish winters...

But, to sum the R vs. F10 528xi comparison up: the R is a hooligan making me feel 20 years younger; the F10 (with this little engine) was just boring. Sure it was more comfortable in those long distance trips of mine, but only to my body - to my mind and mood, it was simply tiring.
