I've driven both the FL5 and the FK8 quite extensively and the light bulb just never went off for me. Maybe I'm out of the age demographic for these, but would take any performance oriented RWD/AWD car over this.

Technically it has a lot more than track performance going for it.... It's daily driveable, it has utility, its a manual, its fun to drive, its cheap, it holds value well, plenty of room for my kids in boosters, and so on.
And here's the funny part, it does all of those things BETTER than the G8x, another car which I loved and still appreciate. So yes, its FWD which carries more stigma than real drawback as a street driven vehicle. The FL5 just fits in with the other cars in my garage perfectly. As an only car, I would maybe take another M5 but really for real....a truck.
