But hey, its not N/A so it sucks, right?

Yes while living in fantasy land, those are true. There is simply no turbocharged engine out there that combines all of them into one engine. How would BMW do that???
All of the leading race engines in the world being used in performance engines for racing cars are high-revving N/A engines simply because the throttle response and sensitivity achieved in a low-gear, high-revving engine especially in the corners is impossible to recreate either through low-revving torquey engines or laggy and lazy turbocharged engines that take time to spool up no matter how many "variable geometry turbines" are introduced.
Above all, turbocharged, low-revving engines sound pathetically boring and commuter car like. The proof is in the X5 M and X6 M. I listened to it over the weekend at the BMW dealership and it is nothing like a race engine.
