Wink Anyone read this?

Excuse me if this is old news, but...

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...3-sedan-drive/

Now, some of this is kind of news to me, I STILL have not found the supercharger on my engine
Well at least apart from that the pictured vehicle is identical to mine in all ways.
Any comments?

Has this been discussed to death elsewhere, or is C & D just acknowledged as being rubbish?

Thank you very much for that link, that is the very best explanation of how this motor works that I have read to date.
BTW, I am embarrassed to admit that R& T is the only publication of its kind that I actually have a subscription to. I can't believe I missed that article.
I assume that not every online article is included with the print edition. At least that's what i am going to tell myself.

This is, I believe, the best description I have read of the M256 motor in our E53s

That last sentence just ruined my day
I can only reassure myself in the belief that they must have performed the most rigorous testing protocols before they released this engine to the public.
But still...........sh** happens.
