I completely disagree with going full AWD. The M2 Competition already strikes the perfect balance. Now they're ruining it for casual buyers who don't need or want AWD. Not every car needs traction control and complexity.

The towing capacity on these is genuinely impressive for its time. If you're someone who actually uses their vehicles for work or towing, this could be a practical choice. Plus, repairs are fairly straightforward since it's not over-computerized.

Thinking about fuel economy again - if you maintain it properly and drive it conservatively, you might do better than the 12-14 mpg figure. Regular tune-ups, clean filters, and proper tire pressure all help with efficiency.

The penalties now are proper harsh, which I think is justified. Prison time, hefty fines, driving bans - it's a real consequence. But I wonder if we're still not doing enough in terms of rehabilitation and education programs for offenders.

I'm curious about the legal aspect over time. How did sentencing recommendations change? Were judges gradually pressured to hand out harsher sentences or did it happen through legislation?
