Hard to explain it, but it does not inspire the same sort of emotion as the last generation M3 does. Less of a connection with the car.
I've had 3 generations of m3's and I really enjoyed the f80. Miss that car all the time.

You're going to find most of the performance suv's will lack "soul". Closest I've felt to one was the Macan, but that car is just too small and unpractical. if you are in the market for a performance suv, the x3m is a good one.

Problems for me is lack of sense of speed due to awd and weight. zf8 speed is no dual clutch for connection and snap.

sadly the new m3 will have these issues I think, considering the chassis is 3,9xx lbs, optional awd, and zf8.
