After decades of London living and just moved from a Leon Cupra R to an M3, I think I have made a mistake, I miss the agility and nimbleness of the various hatches I have had in the past???

Plenty more viable "city cars" than a hot-hatch confused

Then again ANY car is not particularly viable in a city, but that's a whooooooole different argument, for a different day.

You mean, as a PH'er, you don't go exploring the limits of grip and flirt with lift-off oversteer on your way to the 24hr supermarket? Hand in your man card, immediately...

The answer to the question you should have asked is: the M3 is not a city car.

Nothing needs to be anything but if you enjoy a spirited drive, then there has to be some sportiness for me smile

Given that most roads in cities are 30mph, but generally you're moving even slower, I really don't see why you require anything that's nimble or hot.
My main requirement would be a nice comfy seat to spend all that slow moving and stationary time in.
