Power is power... It is about delivering torque to the wheels and the M3 V8 engine has a flatter torque curve than the M5 V10.... The key to the M3 will be weight and a 7 speed close ratio gearbox.... A 7 speed gearbox would be best matched with this V8 M3 engine given its "low" torque and high revs.... See this thread....trying to kick off similar technical discussions http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52544

Good article. Had some good comparisons. From that article it doesn't appear the BMW "dropped" the ball.
