However, this car is in between the Comp and the GTS. Some amenities are expected to be excluded.
I am excited to see how the vehicle turns out and to get behind the wheel of one. (Which is too fat for his tiny hands...)

They are valid points still.
I drove my M3 4,000 miles in Europe when I got it. To go to my favorite race tracks (VIR and Watkins Glen) it's a 4.5-5 hour drive each way. The lack of a central armrest and the annoyingly sloped armrests in the door cards would definitely take away from the enjoyment. And for what?
I doubt the doorcards save more than 5lbs, and another 2 for the central one. It makes absolutely no difference to the performance aspects, none whatsoever.
Anyway, the most glaring omission as far as I'm concerned is the lack of a manual transmission. That's what really takes me out of consideration.
