Maybe I'll feel differently when I see them on the road, but I agree, these really water down the ///M brand. I really admired BMW for making the old X5 4.6/4.8 which were pretty much ///M cars, but they made sure not to call them that. Now they've done it. I'm disappointed.

Sick engine design. Two twin scroll turbos with correctly paired exhaust pulses will mean super fast spool on that.
I'm sure 600-650+hp will easily be seen with a simple exhaust and tune on those motors.
Swap that into a 3 series? hmmm

That motor is sick but look at the size of that cat right after the turbo
I like the way they put the exhaust ports on the inside, you could easily put a giant single turbo on that thing.
on the looks. I think its that those vents in the front bumper are too big for the car maybe, but I don't like the design

how does this water down the M brand at all? your telling me that a 4.5 (probably lower since the bmw always underrates the car) 0-60 isnt absolutely insane and deserving of the M name? Or that they probably will put in a suspension that will pull over .90 g on the skid pad?
