Just my opinion.
Because it is.

I've driven several E90 M3's. And while I loved the car, there were a few issues. 1, overall, just not large enough for me and the family. My wife and I are both tall, and with the E9X seats adjusted for us, the space between the seat back and the rear seat cushion is about as much as the length of an iPhone. Plus, as an athletically built guy, the E90 M3 seats, even with bolsters opened max, were too narrow for me. Finally, even with full leather, the cabin seemed a little low rent. I was very disappointed. I eventually went with an F10 535. Nice car but a boat in comparison.

I recently tried to see if I could fit us into an E93, but while the convertible specific seats fit me a bit better, I couldn't even fit the kids seats in the back at all.

Now the F80 comes along and it's perfect. It's still small, but just big enough we can all fit for an hour or two without complaining. I will miss the S65's hysterical shriek, but the S55 should be a stonker.
