I have a soft spot for the entry level "real BMW." Well, almost real in this case. Real BMW = 2 doors, stick shift, power to the back. Anyway, glad to see it's a performer. I actually think the less trinketed look of this car is better than the M240i variant. Would really be cool if they offered a stick. Would be even cooler if they made a super lightweight version with a beefed up 4 banger. Fuel economy is beyond impressive here. Sadly, I think this chassis is probably the end of the road for the entry level real BMW.
