guess the times are a changin hahah

its just different now.
(putting aside looks )
like if someone asked you whats better on the F80 over the E90. you would say its faster and you can gain a lot of power with a tune.
if you were to compared E46. you would say you get a highER revving motor with more power stock. no tune talking.
BMW is becoming a tuner brand more than ever. like people here would be upset if there was no room to gain power with a tune..... thats something a E92 or E46 owner never say. because the cars are not tuner cars... nor gain a lot with just a tune.

a LS engine. you can do full exhaust, intake, heads and a cam all done at a much cheaper price. also you can even work on the car your self. with the mods i listed you can gain 100WHP over stock without doing any FI mods. all n/a and will cost under 10 grand. you also could do a stroker kit for the z06
my whole thing was about N/A, i wasn't talking about FI.

Somehow your previous comments on tuning and the GM V8 contradicts your latest statements...
Like you just had some comments on how you didn't like the direction BMW had taken with "everyone" talking about the tuneability of their new engines? Now the lack of tuneability is a problem with the S65 and a bonus with the LT1/LS7
