Default Slighlty OT - while waiting for RS

I bought a 2023 M2 with stick...

To say I am blown away with this car is a giant understatement.

motor - wow
suspension - quite good
brakes - very good

car is pastel blue...not sure what bmw calls it

for 80k...GREAT DEAL

so i wait for RS...278k window plus overage

BMW is def value vs Porsche IMHO

It’s the absolute best car available right now with a manual.

one is coupe and one is cab...

M2 is outrageous but driving 911's for 30 years and 992 is brilliant

I have a 19 M2 competition MT for a driver bought it new 65k miles never missed a beat.
Never added a drop of oil throw my bike in it great car.
Best driver ever I never usually keep a car this long.
But there’s absolutely nothing out there that I can replace it with.
thought about the new one I just can’t warm up to the looks and size.

Same problem with my f80 CS, can’t replace it with a superior model.

M Car seems to always complement GT3 well. I went from E46 to E90 to F80 to G80 and instead of M2 went back to an E46. LSB. Manual. its perfection. maybe I need a 997 GT3 again

But not the best shifter feel apparently (I'm looking at possibly getting one myself, but "shift kit" would be the first mod):
