Agreed and at that point, why not just get the GTI or R?

I’m sure BMW has made a great job at making a sporty hatchback with the new 1/2-series but it’s still a FWD 4 banger, which was sort of what you didn’t want when you bought a spicier BMW 1/2-series.

Apparently I might be looking for a 981 Cayman S in 5 years. There's a 19% shorter final drive available and a longer 6th gear for a stupid but not totally insane price:

That would make for an awesome car.

It’s not worse, that’s for sure. But none of the above are what I’d call attractive.
