Only non-M3 drivers approve a turbocharged laggy low revving M3.

In the time of M3 E30, 7.200 RPM was high. Today any gazoline engine redlines at 7.000 RPM. So for a sportscar like M3, that costs 70.000 €, it is low.

Sure we would get to know. We can clearly hear that and even feel that.

It is not a question of redline, but of how power is delivered. The N52 is more fun than the N54 and the S54 is even better than the nice N52.
