However I believe BMW took the cheap route by slapping a turbo on the new models. Why? Because Porsche gets 475 HP out of their NA 6 cylinder GT3!
C'mon BMW, you could have done better.
The GT3 is also like $131k base.

Exactly. Its not moving around a 3600lb car needing to get 25+mpg either.

Different engines for different missions. No one asks Porsche to put a GT3 engine in the Turbo models for a reason.
