"Honestly, I don’t think BMW needed to shovel this much power into the M3. Most owners will never tap into the engine’s full potential, and if it weren’t for the arms race being waged by the Germans, I’m not so sure BMW would have gone with all this grunt."

THANK YOU!!!

Finally, someone said it. Everyone talks about stroker engines from Dinan, Exhaust and all the other mods to add power, when in reality you will never use it and VERY FEW people on these boards are good enough to even use it on a track.

"And thank you, BMW, for giving us the six-speed manual and not shoving some convoluted paddle-shift system down our throats right off the bat. A double-clutch paddle shifter is on the way, and that’s fine for those who want it, but they’re going to miss out on some fun."

I completely agree.

You mean the COMPUTER can shift faster. You're doing nothing but actuating a switch. Far from "shifting".
