It seems that everyone is in agreement that the new M is a fantastic car, but at the same time are somewhat disappointed with the engine :flyfun:

Methinks the M purists are going to have a lot of heated debates...I feel that the M Division should not have strayed from the naturally aspirated 6 cylinder configuration....:fencelook:

I think they had no other means but follow the trend.. After 20 years upping the power we would have had to see the M3 with V12 and 7L of displacement Technology has not gone anywhere further for the past 20 years. To me it would be more logic if they put 2 small turbos on the V8, boosting torque and economy with some technology to switch half the cylinders for economy or some sort of improvement with electric drive boost on NA?? I don't know. Just feel crooked. Ja but lets be positive.

It does go sideways flawlessly :thumbs:

I agree , they should have added turbo's to the V8 engine..
