Are you serious?
I don't think you understand what regulations are. Please google "EPA". As much as people complain about "HP & TQ" wars I would bet a single dollar that many people would not buy a BMW unless it was producing numbers relative to it's competitors. People are suckers for numbers, and BMW understands that.
However, due to various government mandates in various countries it is important that BMW, and every other manufacturer, start producing more efficient engines. The easiest way to do this is forced induction. More power, better fuel economy (potential). It's simple. It has nothing to do with soul.
2002 Turbo anyone? Does it not have soul? Come on. I'm so sick of all this complaining about turbos.
