With the old V8 in the E9X M3, you really had to rev the **** out of the car to get max enjoyment out of it.

The new twin-turbo motor has gobs of torque. Probably more torque than the W204 C63.

yeswife

seems like BMW has downgraded the engine alot...

Ingenieur

C63 440+ lb ft
M4 406 lb ft
power band width is ~ the same (area under the curve)

a recent C&D (R&T? they compared it against a race version) test had the M4 at 12.4/115
consider the car is 400 lbs lighter and has 275's it can't have more torque than the C63 and run ~ the same times

another had the E63S a bit faster than the M4 around a track 3 minute lap...the E63 weighs 800 lbs more!
the base vette was 10 seconds faster as was the Z28 Camaro

the C63 W205 will pummel the M4
