Pretty sure the lack of ED (I was lucky enough to do it in April 2015 on my F80) is my final straw with BMW snubbing the enthusiast.
I think my alternative ride will be a C43 AMG - I am a one car guy in NY and appreciate the AWD. After the F80 I've actually had 2 Audi S4s in manual and DSG, the former stage 1 and the latter stage 2.
I always shied away from Mercedes because they offered the most "comfort forward" driving dynamic. . . Now with the 9 speed wet clutch gearbox they actually have the most lively and interesting of the automatic transmissions. . . Who would have thought!
A quick tune on the C43 will make a worthy contender, and the AMG performance exhaust makes it sound leaps and bounds better than the F80 right out of the box. Plus the white Designo interior is pure sex.
My one gripe is the exterior colors are boring. . . Give me SO any day.
