I understand the argument with a manual equipped m3 but even then it's still not that much of an issue. I'd rather have a formula one derived high revving v8 with machine gun like throttle response, than a boring 335 powered 1m with low end tq which falls flat on its ass after 5k rpm. Those turbo engines just don't feel special.

you driven one?
its also 400 lbs lighter than an m3 with the exact same suspension.
i do agree that the DCT is a much better match for the m3.
it just depends on what you like. and stock, even less so with an FMIC, the power does not completely die at 5000 RPM on the 1M at all. the car rips at all RPMs.
both great cars and similar in many ways, yet different in others. great to have choices
