If that theoretical car described above isn't your cup of tea, perhaps the 335i is a better car for you. They're M cars. They're not supposed to be for everyone.

The fact that BMW continues to dumb down the M cars for the masses is how we end up engine noise being played through the stereo.

Just my $.02. It's disappointing to see where BMW is with the M cars these days.
If that is the case, then I'll never be able to buy an "M" car. When I was younger, I enjoyed having "raw" cars that were loud, uncomfortable and obnoxious. Then you get a bit older, and need to go to a meeting every once in a while in a different city and take a conference call. Good luck doing that in your "M" then.
