All mentioned are pretty much in the running for my next car. if the new M2 is anything like a combination of the drivers car/fun factor of the current gen, and the increased composure of the new m3/m4 (without gaining weight) they can take my money
The new Z does indeed look compelling. But call me spoiled, there is something unattractive about the idea of Nissan ownership experience. That company has a lot of shit to figure out. I actually view the BMW-ness of the Supra as a plus because I'd feel I'm essentially getting a BMW with possibly improved reliability.

Lotus is a fringe brand. It would take a real leap of faith to actually make such a purchase happen.
