I drove one in December, its really nice to be behind the wheel of and the exhaust sounds AMAZING. Way better than any of the videos I've seen of the m3/m4 so far.
This video is way too long but just listen to the revs at the beginning, its pure sex. . .

Let's take the "enthusiast" out of the equation and let me ask you what you think is more of a complaint or concern of the average luxury car buyer- 1--- The Maserati Ghibli having the same, user friendly NAV as a Dodge Dart or the same Window Controls as a Chrysler 300 (keep in mind the Ferrari California shared the infotainment system with a Chrysler Minivan!)
OR
2--- The 3 and 5 Series are almost indistinguishable from each other inside and out, the C-Class looks like a "mini S-Class" or Audi's entire product line looks the same just in different sizes?
What's the bigger concern of most people looking for exclusivity when buying a premium car? The interior parts bin/ platform sharing OR the exterior package?
