The allure of the last NA M engine fully built by M without worry for emissions is a tempting, but is it worth it...
If I could afford the new M3, I would certainly sell my E90M3 and buy one, but I don't have that sort of car budget, unfortunately. The turbo torque will be awesome, and all accounts suggest it will outperform the E90M3. It will be a very fast, responsive car that will be entertaining when driven lazily in daily driving as well as when driven to its limits. The allure of the last NA M engine means little to me since I like forced induction and it outperforms natural aspiration. BMW will do a good job with it.
