Yep. I had a 98 and after that the hit of a 4 stroke liter bike felt tame.

I have been think/dreaming about this exact comparison. Not in their respective cars but dropped into a E46 M3 track/race car (which I already own). A M3 GTR if you will. I love the S65 in my E92 but am afraid the S62 would win out for max hp, torque, reliability and would cost less to build and operate.

As far as cost - if you are really thinking about an application near max hp, cost differences are probably negligible. One advantage of the S65 is the DCT which would take effort to mate to an S62. Of course if you are going with an MT it's not important (I would never build a track car with a third pedal but I can understand that some prefer it). Someday I'd like to build a track car with a short stroke M60 or M62 @ about 4L with around 400hp. No VANOS. A poor man's S65 if you will. The issue is the trans as mentioned above. Maybe a six speed SMT would be best. |

The lower power of the S65 might allow less modification of the existing components........I would rather not throw away my $4300 diff nor blow it up. |
