I would hardly call it the best. Fastest? Sure. That's about it.
But it's all in what you like. Some people it's perfect. Myself, it's not a true M3. No bespoke motor, fake engine noise shit, EPS, it's too luxuriously focused to be a M3 I've come to know. Precisely why the E46M was king and still is. The F8x is so damn pretentious it doesn't even know what it's supposed to be. I do like it, but I'll always call it exactly what it is...
A 335 on steroids. Is it not? It's a reworked N55....
Cool.
I'll take the S54 please. |
Just like the S55 is based on a BMW AG engine so was the S54... The S54 was NOT a bespoke BMW M engine like the S65 and S85
In fact the S54 had less bespoke M modified components than the S55 has... S54 is based on the M50 with the following mods:
- Individual throttle plates for each cylinder
- Continuously variable "Vanos" valve timing
- Lightweight pistons
- Graphite-coated conrods
- Larger inlet valves
- Redesigned equal length exhaust manifolds
