Thanks OP. I haven't watched videos due to a Youtube block at my firm but hope to watch from home if I remember.

Not to burst anyone's S65 Motor boners but BMW M4 DTM retained the P66 due to regulations, not out of preference.

DTM cars are required to run a V8 engine with an air restrictor, with a 90° cylinder bank and output not to exceed 500 bhp at no more than 4000 ccm.

It's not like DTM runners get to upgrade their engines as they all independently create new chassis for the road going counterparts to their DTM cars.

In 2016 DTM is moving to 2 liter 4 cylinder turbo engines. They will be skipping any version of an inline 6 turbo. Come 2016 you can bet that a delusional 428i owner will be telling an N55 or S55 owner that a 4 banger turbo is superior because BMW "chose" to use a 2l 4 cyl turbo to run in their DTM M4.

Anyway...
