Ha ha ha! You'll hate most cars, especially as a daily with all their beeping and booping and trying to constantly adjust everything because "we're smart, and we think we can work out what you want" except they don't understand, when previously you opened the throttle to 60% and it was fun and quick and gave plenty of power, just because you've driven sedately for the last 2 weeks, doesn't mean you want less performance, or you don't want the gearbox to go back a gear like it did last time you were at 60% throttle! Even the EV Kona I had did this sort of bullshit, and that's even if you last drove it hard in sports mode, and then pandered it in eco, then put it back in sports mode for the blat, it would be really soft in sport mode for the first few heavy hits of the throttle, and then it would really start to crisp the throttle up. It made it stupidly frustrating when daily driving it! Plus all the new electronic steering systems that are so delayed, and I haven't found a single production vehicle with electronic throttle I've been satisfied with, all because the ECU gets to choose how much throttle you're really getting and that means, there is going to be delays. -

Good idea. It's been a long time since I've driven anything modern-ish/sporty-ish thing. Last thing I drove was a Kia Stinger GT and I thought it was rubbish =/ -
I recently calculated how much I've spent in paint and bodypart bits. All for currently 0 performance improvement. If I never did the heads or paint I would have been able to just buy one of the M4's and have 10k in change. That's how un-fun M4's are -
Por que no los dos? The very definition of the sunk cost fallacy. But one that I am perfectly happy to live with. -
Rent one. I drove a M4 Comp DCT and it was the most un-inspiring thing I've ever driven. Annoyingly, I still seem to want one/think M cars are 'cool'? Badge Engineering/Marketting is a big thing. It may be because a M car that has been modded to be rougher/trackier could end up being in a sweet spot of 'actually engaging' as opposed to taking a normally fun car and making it too rough to daily. There's something about a M4 with a half cage and carbon door cards and M colored straps etc that is appealing for reasons I don't quite understand. But from driving one, it was awful. Definitely try properly before you can't go back.
