Both world class engines capable of competing with the best and built with motorsports/track driving as top priority. These types of engines were everything the M fans could hope for. Now we have an M4, turbo'd engines in all the M cars, an M3/4 which is only tenths faster than a 4000LB Lexus around the track, engine sounds played through speakers because the car is too insulated, and you can't help but think BMW has taken a clear step in a much different direction which is not in line with what the M division should and used to be.
