The TT-S is extremely reliable and economical yet pushes 135hp/L compared to the N54 with only 102hp/L, even the M3 produces more per litre.

Sure the engine is capable of so much more but is that the point, even it's torque band width is nothing special. When you expect so much from BMW and get this it just says one thing to me........weak.
I'm sorry Footie, but you have serious, serious issues with the N54. You've made it more than apparent in your posting history.

Swamp is right. You always talk of Audi in the best light, using words like "mighty" or whatever; words that you would never (have never, as far as I've read) use to describe any BMW.
