Correct....I fully agree with you.
BMW M doesn't speak about the incredible gains of weight over the past years. Maybe they should concentrate their efforts in this direction and continue to use some of their current inline 6 engines.
The advantage of lower weight can be noticed in the new 1M. THis car is compact, relatively light compared to the M3 and has much more agility then an M3. You don't need 400 or more HP to make a car fast and easy to handle. IT's all a question about weight.
So please you people at M, consider first a reduction of weight and use what you have in your stores....and please don't abandon the inline 6 for a V6 à la AUDI or MB.....We M addicted will thank you therefore.
