To the OP: We now realize we have input from a nuance-free group member who puts all in the world into two buckets:

1)Best ever/Amazing!
2)Hated it

No wonder the advocacy is for the all-or-none approach, devoid of appreciation for adding a notable degree of fun and enjoyment to daily driving life. There is another path to which you may be more open. The approach I have suggested for consideration (for a like-minded non-tracking, non-drifting, non-stoplight racer) is for maximizing daily driving enjoyment as you commute, go out for pleasure, etc. It is not necessary to have a separate qualified track car, nor equip for the most sedating experience among 2 Series possible...there is a middle ground for maximizing enjoyable time spent. This was actually the underlying premise of the original BMW 2002, the spiritual predecessor of the 2 Series.

Of course, with your location listing no more specific than the country, we don't know if winter climate and hilly terrain will play a role in your decision, which would change the calculus.

Good luck sorting through the various points of view. Enjoy your decision and new car, whatever it may be.
