BMW, on the other hand, has gone on the record to say that the main reason they moved to a 3.0 liter Turbo engine is so that it can be produced in the same plant as the N55 in Steyr. It is only secondary that the powerplant is more efficient than the outgoing S65.
By almost all accounts, the 991 GT3 w/ PDK is the best GT3 ever made and immediately makes all the 997/996 models obsolete. I do not think anyone has ever said the same thing about the F10 M5 and its predecessors.

Wasn't making a direct comparison, but was just making a point that just because some things do not look good on paper doesn't mean that the car is less sporting/less capable. And plenty of people praise the F10 M5 over the E60 and E39, M5post has plenty of last generation owners who have more than warmed up to the new era of M. Anyways, wayyy off topic, we are supposed to be discussing the Mustang lol.
