Pretty, but WTF torque?

[Super Bleeder!!]

In NA apps torque is largely a function of displacement, so ~300ft/lbs isnt bad at all for a 4.0

[A//// Guy]

Yea, lower torque due to smaller V8, high revs though. I want to hear this thing, it has to sound insane.

[scheides]

niice! hope it's solid revving that high!

[AJ]

That's gotta be fuck'n spendy.

Not a fan. The body looks a bit chunky IMO and I am a fan of inline 6's so going to a V8 kinda killed it for me.

The body looks chunky? Apparently you haven't seen an Evo8/9.

Yea I like the new body, its so smooth. I dont like the current 3 and 5 series bodies as much but they did well on the new M3, imo.

Dudes, wake up and smell the crack pipe!!! The old six was 330hp/262 lb/ft, the new engine bitch slaps you with 420hp/295 lb/ft. It will the best M3 ever.
