But many love the car and respect it because it is so different from what you get today. It's a no frills, lightweight 4 cylinder sports car that does it's job. The F or even the E90 M3/C55 might not be the fastest anymore, but one day we will look back and lust after cool sports sedans with nice sounding proper NA V8s,RWD and somewhat minimal nannies, while we blast away in our 600hp super duper turbo charged 4cylinders and 6 cylinders that drive like a robot and sound like a tincan having sex with a fart. They will be faster but they will never be the same.

disclaimer- I have nothing wrong with turbo 6 cylinders, love the GTR, 911 ect. just making a point
