Keep telling yourself that, I know it's hard having an engine which sounds like a lawn mower so you can say you have 400hp.
But this brings up a good point. There is NO end all be all BMW engine. Which is why I will be back in a glorious American V8 in 2021. S55 can suck it. BMW engines in general either make good power or torque, but they sound like shit and spin crank hubs. OR they make less power but sound half way decent. Pretty sure my next car will be a cammed LT1. Only way to have both for reasonable price. There is having 500hp, and then there is using 500hp. You know, for those of us who can actually drive
Here's some videos for perspective.
With the M2C being a WHOPPING 2s faster.... wow. But the 1Le and the GT350 are 6s and 10s faster. Respect.
Oh, and even a $40k Mustang wipes the floor with your M2C.
So like I said, I know it's hard. But hang in there. It will be ok. Eventually.
