1 - I was worried I’d be disappointed with the squishy soft bmw clutch. Test drove a manual 3 series years ago and didn’t love the feel.. and without a chance to drive the m2 before buying, I didnt want to risk the M product also feeling “squishy”. Last 2 manuals in our house were caymans and that’s what a clutch should feel like
2 - 80% likely to do track days a few times a year with my father in law. I consider myself a decent manual driver but I know that downshifting in the braking zone would be a little bit too much of a distraction to actually approach the limit.
Im feeling enthusiast guilt for the decision, hence the post - but I think I made the right call for my specific use case on this specific car. Shame me … 1 2 3 go!

You're a grown adult spending your own money. No reason to shame.
Enjoy your car! I'm glad we still have a choice!
