They don't handle like an ///M should.
Try driving the 2006-2008 ///M Coupe and you'll understand how an ///M should feel.

Don't debate it.

I've driven quite a few M cars through the years and have driven the Z4M Coupe on the track as well, I haven't driven the new M3 on the track but of all the other the Z4M was indeed the best suited to the track, but it's no Cayman. Not by a long chalk.

In my opinion, with BMW making the Z4M Coupe better suited to the track they totally destroyed it for the road, all other M cars are far better suited to that domain and as most are driven on the road 99% of the time I think that is a much better compromise.

P.S.
The Cayman is also better than the Z4M on the road, so maybe the mid-engined layout suits both situations best of all.
