Thought people might like my thoughts/input. Current list of vehicles:

2007 Z4 Coupe 3.0si (one of BMWs first with EPS)
2006 Z4 M Coupe (stripped out track car)
2011 e92 M3
2016 BRZ
Also had a 135i and a Cayman S for a while

Currently #3 on the list for an M2 at my local dealer (since 5/2015). Honestly, BMW has shit the bed on the release of the M2 in my opinion. They have literally hundreds of press cars floating around the country, but can't even tell dealers how many customer allocations they can expect for the year. BMW is spending more time and money promoting the damn car than actually producing it because they know they have the first newly designed decent driver's car in 10 years. It is alienating enthusiasts, and the bloated F8X just won't do it for me, although having four doors is preferred.

Combined with the fact they are cutting maintenance down to 3yr/36k for MY17 cars, and I am losing interest fast in actually submitting an order for the M2 (should my number even get called). I am sure it is a wonderful car that does most things really well, but being 700lbs HEAVIER than the BRZ?! Come on.
