I had a 3.0SI and then I had Z4MR....right now I have BRZ, but thinking about SDrive28i. The BRZ is rather slow car just like your 2.5i... while it feels great in the canyons...it's not impressive otherwise. There are still a few good points with the BRZ...but there are also known issues that took a while to fix like 2nd gear shift.

The M is amazing above 4K PRM...but it's worse than the 3.0SI at low speed. The M also had the second gear issue that took forever to figure out...to my displeasure to have 2 cars back to back with 2nd gear shifting issues. The 3.0SI was perfect.

Unless you track your car...the M is okay...but for DD... it was getting old on me after 3 years. I heard DCT was really nice...I've been less active on this forum...so if DCT is still working well...get E89. The M coupe will hold it's value and probably go higher years down the line...but for daily drive...I take E89 platform... it's a very pretty car...just wish BWM stop feeding new models with more weight/size.
