What's your 2nd choice after a Z, and how does it compare?

That being said, I am picking up an M2 in 4 months (not trading in the Z though) as I felt on my test drive, that it was much more involving than the M235i. Almost Z like.

Yes, the M235i isn't a BAD car, it just doesn't have the warm feel of being in a Z. Undoubtedly the M235i is quick and it certainly has lots of options (too many - for example, if I'd have wanted Eco mode I'd have bought a bicycle), but it just feels like a little, characterless, mass-produced toy. My intention was to keep it until the next Z came out, but I just couldn't live with it - or live without my Z.

Good luck with the M2. I hope it has more character than its baby sister.
