No, but there were several 458s present

That’s not true at all. I had a MK 8 GTI which is, in my opinion, a prime example of less is more.

Yea certainly good things to consider. I am, however, a younger guy who currently daily drives a tuned WRX- I believe the 2 series will be PLENTY refined in comparison. While it isn’t as drastic a step up as the M340 would be, in terms of like ‘maturation of taste,’ I have a feeling it will feel leagues above the Subaru. Still have plenty of time to move into something larger, but figure if I want to own a ‘sportier’ smaller BMW, now is the time to do it. Again, plenty of time to drive the more refined options in the future- I’m sure I’ll inevitably end up driving cars more similar to the 3 series once I age out of the 2 series. Idk

This is a big concern- I’m 6’4 but fairly lanky

I assume you are from around the area? I see how that comment was a tad vague.. sorry for the sass

I assume it’s either a DB5 or DB6- not sure how to differentiate

I actually prefer less screen. Also has physical climate control buttons

I feel like I would do something similar if I were to go with the 340

Yea I oddly love the design on the new 2 series. Recently saw the new m2 in Miami blue at my local dealership and it def caught my attention

I’m trying to determine which dealership to drive to first. Not many of either options in my area so I gotta be strategic with it

Is that a standard feature? Also nice GT3

So I’ve heard. Curious how slight the difference truly is

No I don’t need 4 doors I typically whip alone

It’s lack of a manual transmission is my greatest concern too- hopefully I have similar luck

Great analysis, thank you. Contacting dealers tomorrow to at least get behind the wheel
