more interesting info.
I still have no idea how hp and tq #'s mean anything anyway.
A real driver knows it is about trq down low and flat ,like all bmw engines they don;t need M powered to go fast, they just are an amazing design, drive a 320i ,yah it is a 2.0L but it will smoke most 2 liters as it has the same low power all the way through not top or bottom end and cutting out halfway there. No worried about shifting points as the power is still there when you finish shifting .
