My kickin' 3.0L E36 M3 only goes to 7,000 rpm. I guess it's a dog. I just never realized that before. I learn so much from bimmerpost! (Sarcasm alert...)

Would add that Porsche was able to extract 608hp from a 3.8L N/A engine...but they were able to do that by tuning for peak HP...the torque portion being taken care of by a couple of electric motors. Part of why BMW went to a V8 (other than the 33lb weight reduction and better weight distribution than the s54) was the ability to shorten the stroke and create a higher, flatter torque curve. Tuning the S54 for 400hp would produce v little low end grunt. Personally I don't mind a steeper torque curve as traction is already an issue in these cars...but the boosted crowd would chime in and tell us how much faster their JB'd N20 is to 30mph than the M car. |

In this NA fantasy of mine this engine would have an entirely new lighter block, new material(not cast iron), so if Porsches can deliver 350/287lbs(3.4l) and 400hp/325lbs in the 991s(3.8l) and still meet emission requirements you know it can be done. But the 911 is and has been the pursuit of perfection to the point of obsession through innovation. Keeping what they have and improving on it, not starting from scratch with every generation. This applies to the exterior design as well. I like that philosophy.

Agreed!
It's like it's supposed to be imo. The S65 just sound lazy in comparison.

The exhaust on the F80 sounds A LOT like the Supersprint Race exhaust, which is what is on that M3 CSL in the video above. It's just somewhat quieter, but certainly has the same sort of tonality. I'm actually surprised BMW is making the car that loud/aggressive sounding in stock form. I'm not complaining though. I bet this thing will sound absolutely ridiculous with a few exhaust mods.

My 335is is already louder than the E90 M3 my brother had, especially with the exhaust flap open. The M3 only really gets loud at full throttle, but at partial throttle the 335is' exhaust really screams. The F80 sounds pretty great to me, it seems like a lot of people are watching these videos on typical laptop or computer speakers and complaining that it sounds ricey or too similar to a 335i with an aftermarket muffler but on a proper speaker system, this thing sounds like a beast.
