Sure, that is a different characteristic to the S65, similar to what happened when the F10 M5 came after the V10 of the E60.
Doesn't seem that owners of the F10 M5 complain about the engines power or power delivery (nor the fact it leaves the E60 M5 behind
).
Obviously, the M3 is a different car from the M5 and it will be interesting to see if the S55 is a good match for the M3.
