because it's something BMW chose to make in a manner that's not fitting of their brand. I could buy a 2GC but I never would on that platform. The M2 is another story. I've long considered one as a fun weekend car but I have a hard time wanting to drive a coupe or sedan where I live since that's a death wish.

I'm not alone thinking BMW shouldn't use a FWD platform for their brand. On a Mini, sure, on a BMW M Performance model that's a hard no

How about this: "They're very similar. Except the BMW boasts more torque, a smoother gearbox and is, as near as I can tell, quite a bit louder from the factory."

Ok let's talk Isetta, e36 and e46 compacts and the Z1. 🤷
