I didn't feel that with the E92 M3.
I knew I had a custom built engine, that had something special (8400rpm redline)
Is the new engine any better than the 335/435 engine with an aggressive tune?
To me the new M4 is a car is have to be convinced to buy
E92 with the V8 didn't need any convincing
Please read this, because you couldn't be more wrong:

FYI, your beloved S65 V8 is heavily based off the S85 V10. Both great engines, and it doesn't make them less special that they share design. That's just what savvy engineers do. Building and improving on already established designs.

I prefer the NA engines as well, but I have to say I'm excited about the closed-deck S55 bring on the torque!
