I would have said no. Simple: the V8 puts out about 280 gr/KM of Co2.
Not sure what the new M3 will do, but it could possibly be below 200 gr/KM, and as a result the road tax here, that exponentially raises with the CO2 emission, would make a
huge difference in V8 NA vs I6 turbo.
(as in 250$ per month, as in 15.000$ on a 5 year lease)
This is one of the reasons for the downsizing in the car industry.
