Yeah exactly. Having lived a lot of my life in a tech city and even working for Tesla during college, I've dealt with a lot of their customers. They are techies not car enthusiasts, which is fine. But the moment I get annoyed is when tech nerds try to masquerade as car enthusiasts and talk trash.

It's always cute going to any cars & coffee and seeing the one Tesla guy show up and watch absolutely zero people care about his car.

yea hate those tesla fanboys. That model 3 while quick 0-60 it ends there. It looks like crap. 60k for that no thanks. 0-60 is all about weight and traction.My Z4 M40i only weighs 3400 lbs and with Jb4 Stage 1 with 93 oct. I'm at about 450hp maybe less. So those fat 500+ hp dodge whatever srt only manage 4.1 - 4.2. I toast them all day long. Too fat with no traction.

I find it interesting that the C+D review does not align with other m440 reviews filtering out. (Joe Achilles as just one example) I was a long time reader and eventually dumped them ( cuz the writing sucked overall not the below observation). My opinion is C+D beats up bmw because they are still butthurt they moved away from the e36/e46/e39 days. They rip bmw comparing to what they wish the brand to be vs what it is.

C+D is trash these days and like most things it's merely an opinion. Most of us did find it odd because grill aside, driving dynamics should be similar to the M340i since it's practically the same car with two less doors.

They can be a little harsh but for whatever reason I feel my personal driving impressions align with theirs. Motor Trend and Throttle House disliked the M440 as well.

I think C&D has been very fair with the G20 3-series overall, even picking it over the Giulia in a comparison test. They noted that the Giulia is more "fun" drive, but the G20's technical excellence alongside its excellent interior/tech/build quality can't be denied.
