There could be some things on the coming 2 Series that I don't care for, such as "stop/start", electric steering, etc. I am very happy with the feel of the current 135 in manual tranny, MSport form.
Same reasoning as you, putting fun back into driving. |
Let me say even with paddle shifting the car is still fun....not as much for me as 6M/T but still a blast. My son has it now with a Cobb tune and it's nutso fast....I also thought about buying another 135i. or a 135is....but i no i would not be happy unless i buy a 1M or 2M....Had quite a few opportunities to buyh a 1M but ATM not ready to have another morgage to buy one..in a year i will be getting antsy...my 1991 105HP Mazda Miata has been keeping me somewhat entertained...Like I say...When you have a BMW you can go very fast.....because you can....with the miata they go very slow because that's all they can do speedwise...but they still handle. I no it will never happen but i wish BMW put a N/A 320 hp engine in the 2M...I love the linearity of a N/A engine...even though the tq down low is less than a turbo there is something to be said about how smooth they are...so i am also looking at a used M3 with the 8cyl.
AFTER THINKING MORE ABOUT THIS 350-370HP WOULD BE BETTER...lol
