whats the difference? the shape looks the same either way. the point remains that turbo cars make much more average power throughout the powerband, not just at the very top end. we will see when the official tested numbers come out. but bmw themselves quotes huge increases in performance between this car and the e9x, and I believe that will materialize.
also comparing modded to stock and modded to modded muddies up the waters. its not like you wont be able to modify the s55 should you choose to.
See the two attached graphs to see what I mean. Colored in is the difference in average power under the curve between the f80 m3 and e92 and another with the n54 from the 1m vs a tuned e92 m3.
Clearly the s65 is badass, and I love it. But in terms of acceleration and power under the curve, its easy to see how the f80 m3 is superior.
