I'm with you. No doubt the M6 and M5 are awesome cars, but this is the answer to a question that nobody asked -- except non-car people who are upset that their car isn't "exclusive" enough, so BMW changes the sheetmetal a little bit, and bam, more profits!

I'd like to see BMW offer more true variety in engine and drivetrain and FUN options, versus gran coupes and Hunchback GTs and on and on.

And it's absolutely NOT a sleeper. Nobody's gonna be surprised that a car like that performs.
