Oh well, I'm driving the A45 AMG thing right now.
The car is very very fast, acceleration effortless and definitely superior to my JB Stage1 N55 135i. There is no indication of the engine working too hard either. Would I want this engine in my E82 or in future M2? I sincerely don't know. The bigger I6 engine still has the tactile charm and gives impression of deeper power reserves. To really judge the A45 engine I would love to try a manual trans, but it just isn't available on Mercs.
One thing is for sure: if M2 gets I4 it better be coarse and angry and vulgar like AMG's. The prerecorded synthetic sound of recent BMWs is just a slap in a face, really. You just can't stop thinking that a whole car is somehow synthetic too.
