Completely different worlds.
I'm with ya. The acceleration of any car almost becomes routine after a while. Gracefully cornering is what makes a sport coupe special.

My friend has a 1st gen Macan GTS that he let me drive. I have a major bone to pick with SUV's and Crossovers replacing the far better handling sedans and coupes that I grew up with.

But man. I'm not gonna lie, that Macan GTS drove pretty phenomenally. Yeah, it doesn't handle as well as say my M2, but it's very very good. If i lived somewhere with terrible pavement and lots of dirt roads, I would maybe consider one, as much as it pains me to say so.

And really, i can't blame anyone else for driving one at this point.

I'm a MTB junkie so I had to go out and buy a rack. I loaded my bike twice into the back for some local rides and thought, this wont do for camp trips to moab at all. The biggest compromise in practicality by far is small trunk opening.

All is well now though. I can fit two bikes, all my camp gear, and me plus one in the car. It's all I need. Seats are comfy enough to sleep in too and I can schedule ventilation so I don't suffocate! lol

I will say I'm impressed by the luggage space being a small coupe. Frankly seems larger than an A3/S3 which were also on the want list.

You guys would probably call us crazy, but we actually just traded in our SUV (Honda CR-V) for a 220i Cab as our family DD.

We have a small practical car (Honda Jazz) in case it's really needed for some reason, but we wanted a cab and loved the 2 series (4 series roof takes too much ******* with the soft top.

With "we" I'm talking about our family with 2 small kids. They love to drive with the roof down if it's not too fast (lots of wind in the back) and not too cold.

YOLO right?

Just sold my winter car and will run the m235i year round. It's a fantastic choice for an only car, and probably the best choice vs other cross shopped coupes

I daily my M240 (well, not so much daily anymore since I've been working from home during the pandemic, but you get the idea) and my wife daily's her 230. We have a minivan for long roadtrips or any other time we need the space.

I couldn't bring myself to parting with my E46 ZHP so keep it around, but never drive it.

My other other car is a RV I take to Burning Man and my other other other car is a Bus that we use to haul up supplies for the 50 people in my camp.

You think parts on a BMW are expensive, try any parts for a Bus or Motor Coach.

We have X3 35i, MINI Cooper S cabrio and the 2er, plus a 1997 Subaru wagon racecar.
