Totally agree but this is never going to happen. All of us that agree with you will be the guys restoring E30's, E36's and E46's because those are the cars we really pine for, only in a modern package. Those cars are not coming from BMW. The M235i is the closest thing, and it's not really that close.
I recently bought a used E85 Z4 for my son. 3.0i, NA, 6MT, manual seats, manual top, no iDrive. I LOVE it. It feels (and sounds)
so much more like a "real" BMW than my F30. Of course the F30 will KILL it in speed and even in gas mileage, but I'll be damn if its more fun. It's not even close.
