I see a lot of anti change sentiments around here. The OP is at least open minded enough to embrace turbocharging. There are many posts by those who don't like BMW's move to go all turbo on petrol engines. I find it hard to reach the conclusion that the NA 6 beats the new turbo 2l four but they are out there. There are numerous posters in the 1 series forum who would rather drive a MT6 than a DCT, despite the fact that the take rate on the DCT is over 90%.

The real issue is the insane fuel efficiency rules being forced on the public. High performance cars will continue to increase in price at a rate faster than for other cars because the cost of the technology required and the economics that penalize vehicles with less than targeted efficiency.
