If you want more driver engagement, go with a M2 or Porsche. Car companies are segmenting vehicles for very different needs. No longer does the M line mean what it use to mean for all and that is not a bad thing, just revolution. After all, M5 sales have skyrocketed and as a business, M needs to sell as much car for people buying them. As oppose to a handful of us enthusiast, which is dwindling in number every year.

hate to say it but I have to agree with you. the market has been deciding against MT and DCT and light weight for a while now.
