Third, I had an e60 M5 with stick. I did like it, but at some point, when the car gets that big, it just feels wrong with stick - well wrong is a bad term, but just not right? 
Long story short, I have some very tight low speed turns on my way to work. With the 650 being so darn long, I had to wait until there were no cars coming either direction when making a right turn - because it was almost impossible to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane when making a right turn. |
The GC is very long. I have a coupe and it really does feel a lot smaller than the GC. I can't believe you like the M2 seat better. It may hug better, but it is not as compliant or soft. Maybe you had different seats in your GC than me?
No car is "wrong" with a stick. A bigger car is a bigger car with or without a stick. But I think you would have found your GC to be much more engaging if it was a regular coupe and had a stick
The M2 just feels cheap to me (and so does the 3 and 4 series). Too much plastic everywhere and too cramped.
