Super weird that it’s got that blah feeling for you. But of course, I’ve never driven one. Sucks you all aren’t happy but at least your aren’t in a shallow hole with it and have outs.

Bummer. GL on your decision. E90 M3 sounds good. That one is on my bucket list.

I feel bad you guys don't enjoy the M2 as much as you wanted. I don't think modding the M2 any more would be the smartest choice. Kinda like having kids to "save" the marriage. Spending a lot of money on something is stressful (at least to me) especially if you don't know if it will make you any happier.
E90 M3 would be a really cool ride. Got a couple guys here that have gone that route so I'm sure you would be in good company. Not to mention going back a generation of car would be less computer assisted and the M3 is straight motor with no turbo lag. Supercharger kits for this car are also really nice.
N54's are holding their value and you already know how insanely fun they can be when done right. Even the N55 guys are making big power with a few simple mods.
The only thing that comes to mind when I think RWD, big power and loud is a mustang. Just spit balling here.

I know it's sounds weird and believe me, it was really hard to come to this conclusion. It doesn't help that the 135 has about 100 more HP at the rear wheels, which we know could be easily fixed for about $5K and not void the warranty... but more HP won't take care of the computer control issue... I probably should do some more research on coding... I wish I had the time. I can't even get my own car done.
I was a Ford guy before I got into Bimmers so a Chevy isn't in the cards and Kristen had a few bad experiences with Mustangs so we're going to stick with BMW.. especially since she works at the dealership where labor is $30 per hr .
I'm leaning towards an e90 M3... the V8 in the e53 was amazing and I've been lusting for a V8 forever
