The F8X M is growing in size once again (Ok the weight has been put down to 1M territory), but the increased wheelbase won`t make it a very agile car IMHO
The M2 could be the best M as a E82 1M successor, but there are some question marks here;
1 probably it`s a 4IL (Source; Scott27)
2 the wait will take us to 2016
Now that is too long for me, also would like a 6IL.
Given these facts, the Cayman GTS could be the best alternative for now.

The 1M was the one that got away. I think the GTS cayman will be a terrific car but will be EXPENSIVE. Back in September, I had the opportunity to drive a base cayman and a 997 Carrera S at the Porsche test track in Leipzig, was an eye opener. I honestly think the M4 will be a terrific performing car, really can't wait to drive one. I am just hoping they will have closed the gap to Porsche when it comes to driver involvement. For me Alpine white, black cloth, ceramics, and black 19s should do it, and of course a manual gearbox.
