Sept. 07 Winding Road M3 Review
They love it! Plus, they estimate a price of $59,000. Wouldn't that be great?

September issue on sale in July? Magazines are getting crazier and crazier. It used to be the middle of the month you'd get next month's, not two in advance.

AGREED! I'd have to say it left me with no doubt that my deposit was a wise decision (at least until I get to see and test drive one)... That sound from the V8 is worth it alone.

Another interesting tidbit that people have been questioning about direct injection.

Cars almost always look better from above. I have an office building that looks down on a major street and it's amazing how much better cars look from above and at an angle- you can really see how wide and aggressive
they are. One of the first undisguised pics of the 04' 5 series when it came out was taken from above being loaded onto a truck and it looked HOT! Then of course I saw the pics from street level and noticed how Bangle screwed it up. Oh well....... |

BMW's new HPI is a totally new technology. They just managed to feature it in their latest inline6 engines (and it still makes some problems). NOT even the 335i does have the second generation DI. (I must confess I told you otherwise some months ago, but now realized that's wrong). So what Draeger said seems true, the compatibility between HPI and the higher revvs of above 8000rpm needs additional time for development. What BMW could have done is to feature the same technology that Audi uses, but they didn't do that. HPI in an M engine isn't possible yet. BTW I've seen an M5 test car in Munich some weeks ago which had additional intakes in the front apron. Maybe it was a HPI test car. Best regards, south |

Is Fuel Stratified Injection not a form of direct injection?
I don't know.

RS4 engine does feature DI. You are technically correct that the RS4 doesn't have HPI as that is BMW's implementation. But that was never being stated.
