Interior felt really cheap though and was a major deterrent. Even if they could have put the M3/4 seats in would have went a long way.

You cherry pick the ridiculous Motor Trend test where they get 107 trap on some dirt road in 115 degree Nevada, and I'll cherry pick C&D test where they got 113 trap for a manual M2. Let's call it somewhere in between, shall we?

My 435i 8AT was a 107 trap car. The stock MT M2 is substantially faster. Those ass clowns at Motortrend are not to be trusted
