I grew up on rotary-powered cars and Hondas....I "get" high revving N/A cars. A modern garden variety Ferrari F car has no problems making plenty of torque around 3k, and has less weight to haul around to boot.

I posted on this thread because of the amount of hate that was thrown to the car community I am apart of and enjoy. A good portion of the N54 community are young kids whose parents bought them a car, they spend a couple grand to make it faster than an M3 and think they have the greatest thing since sliced bread.

The other half bought the an N54 because it is one of the best tuning platforms around in regards to bang for the buck.

In not one post did I say my car was better, so why the hostility???

I'll never said my car was better, just different. Not sure I missed that point...ever.

Care to explain what is illogical about preferring a MT over DCT, or a DCT over MT? What is illogical about preferring an inline 6 that produces more HP and TQ with less displacement? Illogical about pointing out that you can buy Dinan parts and keep your 4 yr warranty?

Or is it illogical to compare a honda civic to a lambo given the basis of our conversation?

Maybe it is your that are blinded about needed to protect the sanctity of the M3 and how nothing could be as good despite people's taste for different, yet similar things.

relax buddy

Look, the gist is that no one cares about your mods. You can talk until you're blue, but few people believe that comparing modded vs unmodded is a fair comparison.

Anyway, I think the situation is reverse. There is no interest in preserving the sanctity of the M3. We have what we have. It's not like we couldn't have purchased a 335i and modded it. Remember, you're the one here in our forum, talking about how your 335i is just as good, and thumping your chest about your mods.

I have nothing against the 335i and the N54. I considered buying a 335is. It's a fine car, but what ultimately disqualified it for me was the HPFP issues which has nothing to do with what we're talking about here.

No hostility brother - it's all cool ... hey, the only mod we E93 M3 drivers worry about is this:
