The car you are looking for is M2, M2c or even M240i.

I'm assuming with a comment like, "When it comes to these performance cars, 0 - 60 time is definitely a huge factor to consider.", OP doesn't really care about chassis design/weight distribution as it relates to handling performance. From that angle, even the M2/M2c are not appropriate competition, as those are RWD. Audi RS3 would be the closest competitor. For me personally, if I was focused primarily on a performance car, I would never give serious thought to a FWD biased setup.
Sounds to me like straight line performance and looks are at the top of OP's wish-list. Since looks are subjective, and the CLA has a slight edge in straight line performance over the M340, then the CLA may be the car to get. |
It seems to me that he doesn't know vs he doesn't care therefore I pointed him to do some research to better understand the differences in these cars.
I do agree with you that his requirements are very simple and many cars can meet them regardless of what's under the skin.
