You missed my point entirely. BMW is not in the power race that Merc and Audi are in, because the M3 only just matches Audi's previous gen car and is completely shaded by Merc's new C-class. My point was rather than save or optimize weight, ala the new M3, Audi chose to dump turbos on the V10 in the RS6 to make their gains. That's what I mean by lazy, because it weighs over 2 tonnes.
