What do you think about the results? It really makes me happy that the new M3/M4 engine has scored this well despite all the critics from many journalists and reviewers around the world.

❝Some people bemoaned the loss of natural aspiration, but experiencing the 550Nm wave of torque that this new-generation BMW M engine serves up ends all the arguments❞
- Nicol Louw, Car South Africa

BMW Power.

All of those engines that won awards are well deserved. Well done to BMW. This competition always reminds me of when the s54 won the 3-4L category for the entire 2001-2006 period of the m3.

Also glad tesla is getting recognition.
