It is a fun car to drive. It has a flat torque curve, with decent pull to mid range, although I feel it lacks top end. It's cheaper to maintain than a 135i, less to insure and BMW's last N/A straight 6 coupe. I would recommend going with M-Sport if you can. In addition to the better aesthetics you get improved suspension setup including sway bar on the rear. If you're thinking of mods there's some easy gains as the n52 is a detuned 3 litre (an ECU flash can give you +20% power gain), however it will never be a rocketship - the mods scene is 20x bigger in the n54/135i world . I track mine and I really love it - whilst it's not the fastest it is a blast to drive and plenty of opportunity to drop time through tuning the chassis and suspension to get quicker through the corners.
