Become a race/rally car driver, otherwise stop bitching about emissions and down tuning cars.

What I don't understand is that a lot of 335i's sound really good, so why is it so hard to make the S55 sound good?

NA engines can't compete. That was the only reason famalam

Engineers too busy chasing lap times to care about if the car is actually interesting or not.

Pandering to the people who actually buy new M3s. The old one had to be worked hard and revved to get the best out of it, the new one is more point and shoot with a lot more midrange so it feels faster in normal usage. Same story with the E60 M5 to the new F10.

From a business perspective it makes perfect sense as they will sell more of them and make more money, but it is a shame they don't make epic engines like the V10 M5 or V8 M3 any more

THIS
>customers want the car to go fast when they press the right pedal
>can't drive manual anyway, auto boxes work better with torque
>using regular turbo engines instead of unique ones for M-cars saves money, it's not like the customer cares or understands

I don't want to sound bitter about this, but it's just the reality. Most BMW customers don't even understand things like rwd (and they couldn't care less), kinda like the polar opposite of the benchracers around here

Shut up boomer

ain't no replacement for displacement

the small engine turbo meme is ending anyway, they're less fuel efficient than a larger cc NA engine

>the small engine turbo meme is ending anyway
Proof?

In 2017 it's almost impossible to buy a NA car, almost every car in Europe uses forced induction.

Very true. I think the change happened when lease deals and 320ds became extremely popular and the 3 series started outselling the Ford Mondeo and BMW suddenly became the car of choice for normal people who don't give a shit about cars outside of "it looks nice" and "it drives well"
