Triggered much?
How many M's have you owned? How many other cars to compare them with? Every generation cars get heavier and more insulated. This is driven by safety requirements, market preferences and manufacturers desire to broaden appeal/market reach. Every other manufacturer goes through the same process with their performance vehicles including Porsche, Ferrari, etc. Better numbers, less engagement.
The M2 has now taken the place of the earlier M3's in BMW's lineup as a performance car with fewer compromises for daily use. Although the G8x is putting up impressive numbers, it is not as engaging to drive. I say this having owned a E36, E46, E90, F82, F10 and F90 iterations.
The M3/4's mission has changed. It is now a performance car for people with families and responsibilities. No longer is it a toy with a ton of compromises in the name of performance. Nothing wrong with that either.
