That's just what scares me. I am drawn to cars with engines that are over-engineered and under-stressed with lots of potential left on the table (Mezger Porsche Turbos, GT-Rs, Supra Turbos, Mustang 5.0's, etc). With this car, I'm honestly going to feel like I'm being propelled by something that is a little too similar to what is under the hood of some teenager's '07 FBO 335i.
I would bet good money that this will be the least expensive M3 engine (in relation to car price) ever. It just smacks of irritating thriftiness.

not to mention the m4 is going to sound somewhat like a 3.0L modded 335i.
so that teenager with his JB4 335i with down pipes and exhaust is going to match your engine note also. have fun with that, i know i will never be put in that position.
