Yes they are extremely quick, but the M3s just feel like there is a 100hp advantage in feel over the 997.1 and .2S's.

I think the m3 engine sounds beutiful. not obnoxious, but refined, classy, and beautiful.

if bmw man up and put this engine in a lighter chassis (like 3000lbs z4m coupe....if that even exist, LOL). it would be truly amazing performance wise.
