I just have read how the M6 disgraces the tradition in the MT Best Drivers Car 2013 contest and has his ass handed over in all and every single one of the divisions that matter to a drivers car. I reckon the M6 is currently the halo car of M, the X5M and X6M will probably not be better track dancers either, or would it be the outgoing E91 maybe? the M5 is placed almost generally behind the M6 as a drivers car. Or maybe we all have to assume that an M6 is not a real focussed car and never intended to be... the performance pack will make all the difference then?

So, conclusion: including all M candy available in the catalog, BMW has nothing better to offer to driver enthousiasts than the M135i.
Yes, currently it is the best driver's car BMW has to offer that can be ordered new. I totally agree. But I also believe that "now" is not an exceptionally good moment to order a brand new driver oriented BMW.
