It reignited my love for the RS3, and I went to youtube to see about the new one, and the first video was a "RS3 vs M240i". After seeing the performance and the styling that I LOVED for the first time on a BMW, I had to have it haha.

I put in a custom order and got in line for an allocation, but after seeing it would get the screen and lose the shifter, I cancelled and called about 30 BMW dealers looking for a new '22. Ended up finding one 5 hours from home, went and bought it and love the thing. I will reemphasize, I don't think you could be disappointed in a RS3 or M240.
With you 100% I was very happy when my 2022 came in, especially when I saw the changes to the 2023. It's not all bad, and in a non sport car, it would be fine, but I feel like you lose a bit of that feeling with the massive screen and light switch shifter.
