BMW has done away with all NA engines. Makes me think that if they couldn't get NA reliability right what's going to happen with these new turbo engines?

Hey if it's light, why not!

Doubt a V8 would fit in that little 1M.

1M - the first BMW ///M car without an ///M engine. You might as well get an 135i and tune it, get better looking bodykits and better suspensions.

Why not? They're able to fit v8s in SLKs.

exactly. no thanks. if it costs this much, I want a new or heavily revised engine. I'd be all over a year old lease returned M3 with low miles instead.
