And also much prefer NA linear power over higher FI power. I don't understand people that buy cars and want to change everything. They'd be MUCH better served buying the right car to begin with.

And if BMW has to make some sacrifices, most of us would have preferred the S65 with a single TB (or dual, like Ferraris), than going to the M extreme of a turbo 6, at least on its 'bread and butter' M car, which is the M3. Oh well. This will be my first and last M, but many folks will be happier with turbos so they can feed their fragile egos with more cheap power .
