Welcome your thoughts. It'll be a daily driver/big commuter but with great parking at both ends.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

We have an M2 currently (other half's car). They're very nice! We got a manual and so glad we did - it really is amazing fun to drive. Tech on it is great (and we didn't go mad with options).

Suspension a bit firm for a daily though. I have also just picked up one of the new Alfa Giulia's as my daily, and the ride is like a magic carpet in comparison (but stiffens up in the track modes). Other than that though, I can't fault the M2.

Very close for me between m2 and f type, the looks and sound of the jag just swung it.

Useful feedback. Thanks. I have Mineral grey with the carbon options in mind. Will probably go Dct though, due to the commuter hassle.

If you can cope with getting in/out of an i8 several times a day as a daily driver, you're a better, and much more limber, man than I

Whatever the new Z4 looks like/costs, I wouldn't buy one during the first year or so of production anyway - I'd want to wait until they've ironed out the production gremlins...

That only leaves two choices... either would work for me 8)

That'd be good - bit expensive though... think I'd compromise a little and have an M240i coupe and an F-Type convertible just to cover all the bases

I made my 2 choices, and it turns out they are the same as most other members have chosen! :lol:

The tougher bit is deciding on M2 v F-Type - that is almost worth it's own poll!

The F-Type gets my vote and I can confirm it won't disappoint. Make sure it's the S for more power LSD and active exhaust.

Just hold back a little while and wait until you see what BMW have to offer!
