///M cars should be like mechanical watches a piece of engineering No bmw rather go the easy way. Shame on you bmw ///M. And you won t get one penny from me for this kind engine/car.
About every jap car has turbo.

i disagree. its just adapting. America is ///M's biggest market. And with all these new mandates/penalties/extra gas guzzler taxes the same ///M car that we could buy for lets say $65k will bump up to $72k. and you can say you gotta pay to play all you want but people wont pay to play. They'll start looking at cheaper alternatives. And the ///M car is not an exotic its a mass produced daily driver and quantity counts. Besides BMW looks like theyre doing well with the turbo cars, and its not their first rodeo.

Oh i think when tuners get a hold of it with a Few minor Bolt ons and a tune this thing can come somewhere close to the 650 whp 700+ torque numbers. If my little straight six with its tiny turbos is doing close 400 whp/ 400 ft lbs. that V8 with much bigger turbos will do alot more.
