They announce a unique (in this case 3 cylinder 310 hp ) motor and rather than consider the amazing performance, the first thing you do is pronounce it a failure!

Did you actually read and understand what I wrote?

Being intimate with both, I was comparing characteristics of each of engine and you nailed it, the N20 is just a little, efficient workhouse, but that's why i purchased it. It's a great M3 companion. My entire point was this: a proper M car need not only be fast, but have a damn soul. Just look at the s63tu vs s85 and hopefully you'll understand where I'm coming from.
At the end of the day, I'd LOVE to have my concerns negated.
