So they are not going to make the same mistake.
Scott----with all due respect....nobody can really change the fact that a boosted 4-cylinder is GOING to have turbo lag....it will still feel like a 4-cylinder, and it's an entirely different experience. No matter how much M try, they can't change the basics of turbo'd 4 cylinders----especially if they are trying to get big power out of it. Sadly a 4-cylinder M2 will be a very interesting car, but nothing out of the ordinary as Merc and Audi are both in the realm of high power 4-cylinders already. BMW is sort of late to the game.....

I'd say Audi is currently the most unique with that 5-pot turbo. That is one hell of an engine.....and from everything i know, Audi is planning to INCREASE the 5-cylinder usage in their lineup. That's properly exciting news for enthusiasts....
