There's really only so much you can do with a 4.0L motor, regardless of how nice the heads/intake are, you're ultimately going to be rpm limited. We spin our NMRA Pure Street 4.6/4vs to 9700rpm shifts and 10,000rpm through the traps with steel rods (powering 3250lb cars to low tens at 130+) ported heads, aggressive aftermarket cams, basically fully built race motors. They make ~450rwhp SAE on 100 octane. The bottom line is you have to spin a small motor insanely high to make power N/A and the E92s are already going to what 9k?
I also wouldn't ever boost a 63, E46, E92, etc. Static C/R is too high unless you swap slugs, they are killer N/A motors which will naturally take to nitrous if you need more power. Personally I'm a fan of N/A.

Without the revs the M3 doesn't make power for its displacement, neither do F430's, GT3's, Gallardo's, etc.

Let's make it easy, stock for stock, mod for mod, the 6.2 wins. You simply can't compensate for 2.2L of displacement in this scenario since the motors are otherwise similar (V8, 4v, VVT, high static C/R, solid bottom ends and VT).
We'll be making what the 5.7L V10 strokers make (at least as much power and more tq) with H/C on a stock 6.2 bottom end. Results coming shortly.
I will agree that BMW squeezes their motors harder from the factory than MB by a longshot. That being said there's still not nearly as much left in the stock tune as there is in a 63 tune, and yes, I've seen the E92s stock cals.

Generally, yes, displacement rules.
Edit: The v10 strokers put down 560-570 wheel, lofty goal to hit.

Too many unkowns if you blow an engine yourself. Extra cooling more oil
compression ratios, boost levels, Intercooler design etc tecN/A is where its at.
Sticky I can make it down to California speedway in less than 2 hours. But right now I am looking at back surgery in a month. So until thats done I probably wont be on any tracks until after the new year.
Besides stock vs stock according to fast laptimes the the AMG is a half a second faster than the BMW DCT to 100 and 1.2 seconds faster to 120
According to Car and Driver (I hate these mags) the AMG is 0-60 in 3.9 and the M3 is 4.6
IN FACT (I hate this mag too) the AMG ML is 0-60 in 4.5 and the M3 is 4.6
So the nubmers are all over the place
So until I get fixed we'll have to rely on those stupid mags. And Or those videos from the M5 board.

Andy You have begun to make me agree with you. The point is you have what you have to test. And truthfully unless you come out here and test on my tracks that I am familiar with, laps you come up with aren't going to make me understand that much. 1/4 mile times are easy to digest.
Its just what I am used to. However if you get the chance to go to a track it would be great to see the lap time differences.
I am just going to stay with my point to be consistent. I will eagerly await to see what you do with your tunes and 1/4 mile times.

Now that we got that out of the way tell me if you can Andy what the differences are in the M3 400hp motor and the 457 hp C63 motor and which one has the most room for improvement. It seems to me the detuned AMG motor has more room than the 4 liter BMW motor.
When it comes to N/A performance the cylinder heads will dictate potential HP in any application. Intake, cam(s), exhaust, etc. merely determine how much of that potential is reached and where it occurs rpm wise. Essentially cylinder heads are the foundations of a N/A house, without good heads or a good foundation, the house is going to suck.
I've yet to get a E92 cylinder head in my hands (just seen via pics on the net) but after thoroughly going over some 6.2 heads, they are quite sporty. The port angles are basically 45 degrees which is F1 like, you can tell they built the cars around the motors; vs Ford's Modular OHCs with much greater angles as they were designed originally as a 2v destined to fit in a variety of vehicles. Basically performance comes first with the Germans, props to them.
It appears that when we throw some aftermarket sticks atop our ported heads they'll actuate larger valves (stock are 40/33mm, Ford GT heads have 37/32mm valves). From what I've seen in pics the E92s heads are the cats *** as well, but again, they're only filling 4.0L of displacement. Even with a 4.6 stroker they just won't be capable of making the same type of power as a 6.2.
There are only so many ways to make power N/A, and neither motor falls short in any category, save the E92s displacement. Torque multiplication via gearing for the BMW and added heft for the MB is the only reason it's a somewhat close stock to stock race. Tuned vs. Tuned (coming from someone that's seen both stock cals) C63>M3, end of story.

I've seen the numbers and they are impressive, but nothing we won't beat. TQ won't even be comparable. Keep in mind we've made 597rwhp/450rwtq from a Ford 5.4L/4v with patheticly undersquare 3.57x4.165" (stock bore .020" over and stock stroke) spinning to 8700rpm shifts and 9000rpm traps with steel rods.
Though if you really wanted to compare apples to apples, you'd have to stack a bored/stroked 6.2 up against that 5.6L. That would be UGLY.

Andy I agree with you 100%
Lets look at it this way The most expensive tunes for the GT3 (very much like a BMW 4 liter 8200 RPM motor) were thousands for 17 horsepower.
Porsche just didnt leave much on the table for the turners. Its a High RPM motor that just was built out to the max by Porsche.
to do anything else with this motor required tear down and a 3.8 kit. AND 15 THOUSAND BUCKS not including labor
On the BMW you would have to decrease compression ratios slow the RPMs down. It just doesnt make sense for the cost. This motor will never put out the HP the AMG motor will Like NASCAR says "there is no replacement for displacement!:
Now look at the 911 Turbo (like the AMG motor although N/A(AMG is N/A)) Lots of room for tuners like the detuned C63 motor. Probably 100 extra HP for the best tuners.
with just little tweaks. People forget when they are saying "You aint going to get that much out of a N/A motor that is a Detuned 550 hp motor.

Although they will make more power with FI seeing such beautifully crafted and engineered N/A motors as the M series has under their hoods, with a blower/turbo slapped on seems almost sacrilege.

I don't give a damn about gearing or weight, b/c those two things will not compensate for the 100 hp difference and the 400+ tq difference!

Personally I would've liked to have seen an evolution of the classic/timeless E46 styling instead of whatever the hell Bangle & Co brought to market in the E92. Aesthetically speaking it just doesn't do it for me, in either variant.

Bangle designed the E46... considering how that has stood up since its introduction in 1999 I don't see why the E92 would be different. It is modern, muscular, yet far more refined than what he did to the 5 series.
E36 people complained about the E46 styling, it is a never ending cycle.

Yeah it was the only car he ever got right IMO, he ****ed up all the rest. The E92 just looks weak and subtle by comparison. Obviously appearance is a subjective thing, they're just not my cup of tea.
FWIW I always liked the E36 and E46.

i think it looks wayyyyyy better than e92 m3
power. Not so much. There is no replacement for displacement.

E63 biturbo
We tried a few runs over here between a C63, E92 M3 DKG Coupe and modded 335is and the conclusion I reached was:
1) C63 is the same or faster than the modded 335s, depending on level of mods.
2) 335is were faster than the M3.
So in short, I don't see how the M3 can start pulling away from a C63 with or without an exhaust. The c63 pulls like a train above 60mph.
BTW, check out the videos of the awesome new RS6 which destroyed almost everything ... even their beloved M5!!

so which one is faster in straight line? C63 or M5?
cuz I've seen a video claimed a c63 is faster than a new RS6 avant in straight line, and they are both stock.

i would have to say m5 (stock to stock) with good traction the m5 is fast and after 100 that thing is out.

C63
Hello guys
I know DCT is quick but I don't believe is this quick.
It's from youtube M5board

First of all, no matter how good a exhaust system is, it can't significantly change the power of a NA car. So if the M3 DCT can do that with just a exhaust it can do something similar just stock.
The C63 is right below cars like the 911 GT3, AMG 63/65 cars, Gallardo, etc in terms of straight line performance. Basically its right below the level of supercar speed. If a stock M3 DCT can beat a stock C63 that easily (only exhausts don't mean ****), that means a M3 DCT can hang with cars like GT3, Gallardo (not the slowest versions), AMG 63/65 cars, etc and only marginally lose to cars like LP 560-4, Scuderia, and 911 Turbo which is not true.
