I know someone with a Diablo, and he had a knee replacement (anyone wealthy enough to own a classic Lambo is likely to be old enough to qualify, LOL). He had to quit the car for quite a while (not a big issue for him, he also has an Aventador!).

Thanks for posting that.

I had a good friend with a Pantera. That machine was a severe workout on the left leg. Fun but work. My M2 has DCT. Its quite fun and offers all the beauty of a manual in manual mode with lightning shifts and power application. I am normally a manual driver. DCT is a nice way to drive. Will I own a manual again? Sure depending on the platform.

How long have you owned your M2 and would you recommend it?

4 months. Highly recommend the car to others. Fun, balanced, superb exhaust note, M4 brakes =excellent. M4 suspension etc. Its an M4 minus the engine placed in a 2 series modified body. Go drive it. You wont give it back. Power is more than enough to keep you happy and the interior is nice and with great viz. Back seat and trunk give you an element of practicality and did I mention the superb exhaust note - stock.

Its put the fun back in BMW M driving and in a superb proportional package.
