The renderings of the M2 look very aggressive. Will be interesting to see it and the new Z in the near future.
Tech doesn't bother me. One does not have to employ it at all times. The Z is not that low tech to begin with.

It's essentially the rebranding and marketing that got you there. I'm not saying it's a crappy car by any means but it's just rebranded new generation of the 1 series to the new '2-series'. Well their entire line up actually being rebranded to accomodate for sedan vs coupe. I do think the 2 series > 4 series personally though in terms of looks. I haven;t driven either one so I cannot say how they perform... but very easy on the eyes!
The thing about tech for me is it's great to have but also a distraction from my driving experience. even the triple cluster on the Z (as useful as they are) threw me off a bit as I have never had those guages in any other car I've driven. It's all about preferences... I actually liked the 08 335xi as bland as the internals were because it gave you just enough information but not overwhelming enough to take away from the driving. I have driven a 13' 335xi with all the bells and whistles... again great car but I'm just not a fan of some of the new technology being implemented into cars. Call me old school
This is also one of the reasons why I was leaning toward the Z because of the rawness in the car. I like it raw!
