I have had a few SC Ms over the years as well as my M4s that have been dialed in and I agree with you but in all reality you dont need it on the street but fun to have!

In a perfect world, I would take the digital dials from the C43/63, the seats from Audi, and keep the center display from BMW. |

I was talking about their exhaust. Learn to read where the conversation started from.

Meh ... put them on a track an see which handles better ... that'd be the Merc... The C43 is an AMG product (car setup to be a sport car) minus few thing... the M340 is just a 3 series with a bigger engine, not much else and ultimately it's not setup as a sport car... It's still very good and capable of course but the feel is so different.

Also, if by AMG you mean Alabama Motors Group, then sure, it's an AMG product. |

I never envisioned myself as a Mercedes owner, as they always made good cars, but never really sports cars, I always saw them as "a car for when you retire." But these new "AMG Lite" cars are really well executed. I love my CLS more than my last 5 series which I really found to be disappointing in the driving experience (despite being fully loaded), even the M550 felt like a numb rocket, fast in a straight line, but in the corners, meh. The more competition, the more it pushes BMW to hopefully better in the future.

There was a time you could sit inside a E9X blindfolded and you could never mistake it for anything else , sit blindfolded in a M340 and you will confuse it for an Audi / Lexus. It's 100%, the only ones arguing are the ones who love that numb , without a soul driving feeling and exactly the problem with today's issue that BMW has. |

Times have changed, you are in the camp that harp on and on about how the cars were better in the past. Who knew, tell that to newcomers to the brand pal. I have owned E36's and E46's as is the case for many others here. We all know the brand has evolved and lost some of it's core values but that's just the way things are these days. What i find absurd is people who don't own or have any interest in owning an M340i yet harp on over and over how much of a disappointment it is.
What is your goal? You've already decided it's not hardcore enough for you which is fine. Just move on, you won't convince those of us who have purchased one that we have made a mistake. The redundant argument and points have been made several times throughout this forum. Even when the E46 debuted there were people who felt BMW lost its way; when the E90 M3 was announced with the V8, many made the same arguments. Ironically the guys who bought E90 M3's all now claim it was the best M3 ever. If you ask me, the best M3 was the E46 M3 CSL.
