I was really hoping for DFI, especially knowing that Porsche was on the cusp of introducing their own version and the 335 already had it. Seemed like a no brainer. This has been probably the biggest disapointment for me with the new M3. Imagine the horsepower and mileage bump it would of provided. It would have been a monster that the RS4, C63 and C2 couldn't of touched for years to come.
