“and by the way, he forgot how annoying it is to drive a stick shift in the San Francisco Bay Area.”

Your dad sounds like an asshole.

This is my question too. Otherwise there is no way it is even close to worth it.

It makes me laugh that Jalopnik makes fun of people who care about safety but I would rather be in a safe car then ride around in a 2500 pound tin can.

Deal breaker? Not at all.

Cost. At ~$51k for a well equipped (for BMW) base spec car you’re around $15-20k lower than equivalent spec M3/4s. Some of it is down to having a standard N engine with a tune but a lot of it is all the carbon fiber it doesn’t have. The M4 has a carbon fiber roof, prop shaft, trunk lid and an aluminum hood. That stuff…

Hi,

It fails to point that out because his rhymes are actually good and do display depth and wit.

drive an S2000 year round in Alaska. yep: Nokian Haakepelittas on it, and no problem. did 100+ on my way home last night!

I’m with you 100% but the M2 will probably be more fun to drive and will most likely have a nicer interior. Don’t forget the BMW badge. Also $48k for a Camaro SS? Honestly, the real question is why not spend a couple more grand (or the same amount assuming the M2 has any options at all) and get a C7.

for a car that I am going to drive as a daily driver, I would take the M DCT

Is this what The Youths call #SquadGoals?

“Feels like a BMW”

My department manager at a shit minimum wage post-grad school retail job once called in and claimed he couldn’t come to work because the roads were (mildly) icy and his sports car was rear wheel drive. The store manager agreed and I had to work a triple to cover him.

Are you going to wear your weekday suit like a poor person? Gross.

Good luck with that. I'll warn you that you're going to lose a lot of backseat and trunk space though

Yeah, similar dilemma here. Have an ‘02 Neon and I’m torn between the F12 Berlinetta and the Aventador.
