What is it in your mind that makes an M car great? Interior? Ride quality, fuel economy, looks, status ... what is it?

To me lap times matter, handling matters, acceleration and lateral grip matters, and yes, the sound matter. I like going faster around a track than theoretically faster cars. I like oversteer, and I like sound.

This is why I enjoy M cars. Or Mustangs. Hear the difference in that last one?
I would take a Mustang GT with PP1, Active valve exhaust and magnaride every day over an M4 or M3. Both cars are bloated but at least the Mustang sounds like it means business.
