You think only the F430 and GT3 engines are as good as the S65 and S85. Come on sticky, there are an infinite number of brilliant engines out there which are as good if not better than these two BMW engines.

Both Lamborghini engines, every Ferrari engine, the Veyron engine is a work of art, the RS4/R8 and RS6 engines, the Honda s2000 engine, the list could go on. Each have their own merits and shortfalls, just like both M engines.

The only thing you can conclude is that the S65 and S85 are among this long list of brilliant engines and the next ones which ever they are, will be just as special in their own right. I think you assume N/A and high revs as the only two factors that make an engine truly special, the allure of breaking the magical 100hp/ltr is the sign of greatness. What makes an engine truly special is the combine drivability with power on demand everywhere in the rev range and yet prove to be both economic and good to the environment at the same time.

FI is the future...............the end.
