you remember this.
that new engine is for. cost cutting and getting fuel economy. PERIOD
if MPG and cost cutting was not a problem . we would see a reworked S65 V8. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
do i feel but hurt ? not really. in fact i think BMW will feel more butt hurt when i buy a different brand.
sorry i am not spending 80k to hear a 3.0L I6. not happening.

Do you think the S55 is inferior to the S65? Or is the N54 when it came out, inferior to the S65, and why? I don't think so. Not in real life that is.
I remember the M1 having 277PS @ 6500rpm back in the days and an E30 M3 having 200PS @ 6750 rpm from a 4 potter. Both great cars/engines. But not good enough? Because no V8?
And I was spending 100k euros on a E90 M3(2008), trading in my N54 335i(60k euros when new)
That won't happen again.....never again, worst trade I did in my life
