I dunno. The CLA starts at sub 30k. If BMW is going to compete in this space, 42-43k starting will be unacceptable. Even if it has a pseudo-M badge.
My brother is a Merc Technician and by all reports the CLA45 AMG is no joke. It also appears to be had for 50ish. I agree we need something pretty special to compete without M4 money price tag. A proper 2 series could give us that (yes the roof is 2 inches too high but will be still sporty looking in m trim).
My bro wants to convert me....while my IS is not perfect the n54 mill is near perfect and I want to look forward to a new BMW in 2016....unless I have GT3 money lol
