Any mention if it can be turned off? That would ultimately give you the best of both worlds. |

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374508 It's pretty obvious that the engine is not the party trick with this M3 iteration. BMW has taken the cheap and easy route with the engine this time and focused more on weight, it doesn't mean that the car isn't going to be very powerful and spectacular as a package. What remains to be seen is how revolutionary the anti-lag system is. If it really works well this engine can still be special for a while. The S65 on the other hand will always be special. Btw is there anyone with good photoshop skills and some time on their hands that could overlay the S55 power chart with one from the N63TU adjusted to the same ratings ( crank or rw ) power? I suspect they are pretty similar. Last edited by solstice; 12-11-2013 at 07:32 PM.. |

By the way, good luck to the aftermarket tuning community.
At 18psi from the factory and the new Bosch ECU's, it will be very difficult to crack. Probably even harder than the new M5/6 which has proved very difficult. Even the best tunes are seeing limp modes. Even throwing on catless downpipes will be met with "torque overlimit" which will cause limp during sustained WOT runs. In straight line racing, the e9X M3's will have the upper hand for a long time. Let's see how the new M3/4 does at the track.

These cars are gorgeous. Especially the M4. M4 in Blue with silverstone full leather is going to be gorgeous.

was thinking of buying a 911 but maybe I'll hold off. M4 is looking good. I may put a deposit down.

But his point is that he wanted more involvement I'm assuming, so that was my answer. If you have bad weather, man up and ask the car for as much help as possible (that's what I do in snow) Comfort mode and full traction support

I came, I saw, I came again.
I was ripping no the M3/4 in the new Mustang GT thread, but I'm not sure Ford can bring anything to the table on the S550 GT to touch this on the track. Maybe the new Boss 302 will, but I don't think their GT will now. Damn. I really like the M3 more, but with 176lbs in savings with the coupe, it might be a real challenging choice. Hmmm... A little over 3100lbs on the M4. Christ. |
