You know what? I totally agree with you.

On the other hand did you ever have a car with N54 ? My friend it was not a bad machine at all. You could easily push it to 380 hp and im telling you it was strong! adding 50 ps more will be a huge improvement. fixing some electric and cooling issues will make it very reliable. I had a Z4 DCT at 380 ps for two years and it worked pretty good. Besides why do you think BMW set N54 only at 306 ps while tuners reached 380 ? It was their plan from the beggining. Man they know from now what engine will have the 2020 M4, im telling you trust me.

I think that most people here forgot what a beautiful engine N54 was. Very responsive, very strong, very very very . So its not necessarily bad that the M4 has a variation of N54 . If they have reached that motor in its perfection , then i trust it will be a highlight.

Lets stop seeing them suspiciously at the moment . Untill the first reviews at least.
