You could argue BMW going V8 was a departure from BMW tioradition. BMW always 'did' inline engines, and every single 3 series and M3 had an inline.
Yes turbo is as much a step change as the S65, but that is to fend off the competition that have gone turbo.Turbo charging is the future, Formula 1 is going back to turbo and so too are just about every engine coming out of Europe. Sticking with NA would be a backward step.....NA is not cool.
BMW are just keeping up with the times, which wins over buyers.
The new M3 will be a great car, worthy of carrying the M3 badge. Anyone who is an M3 fan will recognise that.

Well,how about a twin turbo V8? I doubt Ferrari,Lamborghini will replace their high revvin NA V8,V10,V12 with supercharged or turbocharged engines.
