But I have to say impressed with the other tech additions and weight reduction. |

I wonder why there hasn't been more info on the 'S55' engine.
How does it differ from the N54 introduced 7.5 years ago? Just the addition of valvetronic II, that differentriated the F10 M5 from the 550i for about a year? |

Do you think the S55 is inferior to the S65? Or is the N54 when it came out, inferior to the S65, and why? I don't think so. Not in real life that is. I remember the M1 having 277PS @ 6500rpm back in the days and an E30 M3 having 200PS @ 6750 rpm from a 4 potter. Both great cars/engines. But not good enough? Because no V8? And I was spending 100k euros on a E90 M3(2008), trading in my N54 335i(60k euros when new) That won't happen again.....never again, worst trade I did in my life Cheers Robin |

2) bespoke and incredibly robust cooling system (7 heat exchangers / oil coolers and new liquid to air intercooling system, completely different than n54/55 and blows it away) 3) larger turbos 4) new tuning algorithms aiding in keeping the turbos spooled even when off throttle Very different, and IMO very awesome. The fanboys will see and will open their eyes to this car once its released and they have the chance to drive it.

Not crazy at all, IMO. I'm considering the same thing. Either BMW provides more space so that's my main debating factor at the moment. However, more is known about the reliability of the 991 at this point.

Not sure why though the Coefficient Drag went up instead of down on this new model. In this case they did not improve. I thought that the Coefficient Drag was rather on the high side when compared to say an current E550 coupe where it is around .27 or so. Would have been nice to see the new M4 under .30 for Coefficient Drag.

it never was! it was the idea that M made a engine that was very different from the rest. put all the power specs aside. look E60 M5s. they were putting V10 engines in there M cars! that insane. Thats what made me want a BMW M car. the new engine is going to be a solid engine and the M4 is going to be a ass kicking car. in the name of cost cutting and getting better MPG. they made us a engine that is to similar to 335i. for me its the principal. nothing to do with how fast the car is.
