But the report is probably valid, they sold VERY few of the previous Z-car in M trim, and with the new car's new direction (boulevardier/cruiser/chick car/technology overload), the M market might be even smaller.

Yawn. I'm paying off my '07 E86 and keeping it forever. Harrrrumph!
I second you on that one, I will be paying off my 2007 E85 as well and keep it. A true roadster, must be light, extremely manuverable, fun to drive, quick top operation, and must be GERMAN (lol) no offense to our japanese brothers. The E89 is a great car no question about that, but the roadster in its essence have changed with this car: it weighs about 300-500lbs more which is not a good attribute for a roadster, it makes it too heavy for what it suppose to do and that has been confirmed by the test drives, it is fun to drive but not roadster fun. and to spend $54k plus for the base model!!!!! I think thats too much. At the end its a 2 Seater.
