There are always those who have to be the first to have the latest and greatest. These people will be quick to dis the old for the new. The new M3/M4 look to be fantastic cars, but if I get one, it will likely be mid-cycle, just as I did with my e92. FWIW, I still think a well kept e46 looks very nice and only very slightly dated.

I'm curious to see what the new engine will really be like. I so love the high revving nature of the S65. Too much low rpm torque becomes a challenge to put to the ground in a RWD car. If you add AWD, then you lose steering sharpness.

There is a point at which assorted performance parameters balance out very nicely. I feel like the e9x achieves this. Hopefully, something won't be lost with the f8x.
