I echo this. The 4 series gran coupe usually falls between the cracks, but I prefer it to the f30 sedan. The driving dynamics just feel different in a good way. Of course it's still going to feel ponderous compared to a 135i, but that's the sacrifice we all have to make when needing four doors or a larger car. Maybe in the future you could consider buying or leasing something like a Miata to compliment your practical daily driver with a small, tossable, fun car that's reliable and relatively inexpensive. It's down on power compared to a 135i, but there's something to be said for getting more from a slower car.
