The price you pay for highly strung smaller engines?

BTW the M2 tested in Sportauto carmag last year had exactly 400BHP crank.

And agreed, 400 BHP at crank for M2 sounds about right. I'm going to dyno mine this coming spring and will post results
I'm not sure about the Netherlands, but here in the States, my factory recommended service intervals are every 10k miles or 1 year, which ever comes first. But maybe to your point though, it should be done more often in shorter intervals since it is so high strung, but according to MBUSA, it's 10k miles/1 yr. I'm just hoping the engine doesn't blow before the warranty ends...lol.
