Between this and my ZHP I would keep my ZHP.
BAV Stage 1 - BlueBus - UltraGauge - V1 - Orion V4's - ARC-8's - Brembo 996
TTFS Engine/SMG Tune/CSL 255 - SGT Headers/Sect 1/SCZA - Evolve Eventuri
VIS XTS CF Hood - CF Lip/Console/Diffuser - OE CSL Trunk - BWS 500S 9k/11k
Owning both this car and the ZHP, I say there is no comparison. Both cars are great in their own respects, but not a successor. As for the things everyone "hates"... Once you live with them, you don't even notice them. And honestly, I'm starting to hate the term "slush box". Many of the new automatic transmissions shift crisper than most people with a snappy left foot and 3 pedals. That being said, the new 8 speed in the F series is a good transmission.
And as for the screen, honestly, you don't even notice it. If that was someone's only reason for not buying this car, I'd say they were stupid/nuts.
I'm with Derek.... I'll take an ///M2 GC.

I wouldn't rule out the entire car just because of a couple design elements, no. I just have an opinion on them and my opinion is a negative one. Similar to the arm rest in our Zhp's. Do I think it's a very cool car overall, hell yeah.
As for slush box, I agree. Most automatics nowadays are incredible. I just use that to refer to automatics in general just out of habit/stigma.

i think zhps already had a successor. it was the 335is lol
Haha the armrest has a delete on our cars. I did it on my car. Loving no arm rest and being able to have more room to shift into gears. I have to say I don't think I can shift fast enough to compensate for the auto 8 speed transmission mind you that it doesn't even have a dct yet or a lsd currently. LSD will be available soon through.
