However, it seemed to lack that 'fizz' and also there was definitely a delay in getting on the power at low revs.

Maybe there was something wrong with this particular car, but it only had about 4k miles... I distinctly remember this as I brought my own M into work that day and I jumped into it afterwards - it definitely felt more special, the metallic rasp at start-up and the instant throttle response.

About 4 weeks after this, I got a chance to drive another colleagues E92 M3. I went in with low expectations but was instantly blown away with how it drove and sounded. After driving it, I remember cursing the owner (jokingly of course ) as I could finally see a worthy successor to my own car. I didn't get that with the M4 convertible. In the end, head overruled the heart and I stopped looking and sold the M.
I missed Moe's post too. I wonder if people in general are referring to the car being a bit softer as a convertible rather than lacking power?

Have a feeling the E92 will be a very special car to drive!
