We have similar discussions EVERY SINGLE TIME a new model is released (..or on the verge of being released). A reasonable person should have a clue by now.
Agreed!

Exactly! I can never understand these so called "purists." It's almost as if they feel a part of them has been betrayed. They are taking these things a little too personal and not accepting progress. Anyway, i have very little doubt that these people will think otherwise when the new M3 kicks dirt in their face while they rev the crap out of their NA M3 or whatever they decided to "upgrade" to but still not getting anywhere in a hurry. My experience with the N54 135i tells me that a well M-engineered FI engine, will definitely be an outstanding engine. My 135i received the Performance Power Kit upgrade and it was only lacking high rev pull and sound. I did not experience any fuel pump issue in the 2 years of ownership. I never found it lacking in throttle response one bit. The new M5 pulls to 7000rpm and from what i have read, sounds pretty good too.
