That blue is really growing on me...looks fantastic. The review was thoughtful and balanced. I need to see and drive this thing before I pass judgement on the sound of the engine.

but for pass production like F80 M3, it won't make sense, we learned our lesson from the 997 GT3 and Boxster Spyder. most people still get AC and radio with those models, honestly most of GT3 guys get navi on them too. It all goes back lol...they raise up the price for a lightweight less option racing spec car, people go chase them and add even more money to put AC and nav systems back in lol

The whole beauty of M3 so far was individual throttle bodies in a mass produced car. This fact itself could stand alone as the perfect characteristic and praise of M3 engines. E30 had ITB, E36 EURO had ITB, E46 had ITB, E90 had ITB. Why so significant you may ask? it has been all about this crispy engine response via using ITB on each cylinder. It isn't just simple as "them going turbo", there's more to it. Some people may say what's so significant about S65 engine, it's just 2 cylinders cut off from M5. Well, the E30 M3 was essentially an 2 cylinder cut off engine from the original M1

it will definitely be worse than E90 335i vs E90 M3. At least E90s had totally different characteristic engines lol

The F80 M3 will be quick stock but it will not be that quick.

why? because they are all inline turbo engines, aren't they the same engine? 335xi tuned vs F80 M3 vs M235i tuned vs M2

Well not to sound fanboyish but I am still hinging on the fact that an all out tuned N54 will remain the most tunable inline 6 ever built by BMW. Maxing out an inline 6 on stock turbos at 440 WHP is pretty damn impressive. Oh, and you only need 5900 RPM for that .
