Sorry i do not want my car to sound like a E46 M3! its not 2002 anymore!

BMW should have did a reworked S65, like how GM did a rework on the LS3 the new LS3 now its called LT1.

AMG talks about doing a 4.0L turbo V8 for next engines.

They are ways to make a V8 still have good MPG!
If there was a way to make a high revving naturally aspirated v8 get good mpg it would have already been done.
Look at the RS4's high revving N/A V8, much better mileage than the S65...direct injection goes a long way...
