You want to get down to the FACTS people? Let's talk F-in facts, fact is that the N54 which is also in the 1M engine as well as the 335i was BMW's first mainstream turbo engine and baseline for the S55. Both have forged cranks, forged rods, and open aluminum deck and cast pistons making some of the best blocks in the auto market. BMW just advanced the components such as a mechanical pump versus an electronic pump. I've taken apart a E92 M3 and F80 M3 in my buddy's shop: sure better control arms, struts, sway bars and end links, but let me tell you still shit compared to high end after market parts. Shit intercooler, shit crank hub, shit driveshaft on the E92. Shit bushing and mounts. Shit rod bearings. And who's not to say that all these "upgraded" shit components are not in the M340i, with both now having a locking differential and I hear the ZF8 is better than that DCT and going in the 2020 M? Say what to that.
Is an $130,000 M850i that much less quality built than an M8, I f-in doubt it. Do you F80 and F10 M guys pull up to a M850i and say "well that's not an ///M..."
So unless someone here who knows engines, a BMW engineer or certified mechanic gets me a f-ing tech sheet of side-by-side comparisons of all the internals and components of M340i compared to to an F80 S55 everyone needs to STFU as it's all hearsay. NOT one damn person in 20 f-ing pages has broken down the engineering and schematics of these cars just a bunch assumptions i.e. ass out of you and me.

M850i isn't a REAL ///M. So yes I'll pull up, roll down my window and laugh at the driver in his fake ///M.

Love this thread. Pure entertainment  |
Dude, stick to talking about politics and TV shows (on a car forum of all places)  .
I'm sure the M850i owner would look at over at less than half price 40k M4 and say the same thing... and then smoke you lol. |
Haha. Calm down snappy. Are you 12Y/O? I was just joking. I've owned a shit ton of BMWs and done 4 European deliveries/1 PCD and been to ///M school with REAL ///M cars. You? Let me guess you've just owned FAKE ///M cars? So this move by BMW is perfect for you 
Shit almost forgot I've been on the Nurburgring a few times. |
Nope just a BMW brand enthusiast since my first E30 to E36 M3 and so on, spending hours and hours under the hood hating and falling in love with these cars at the same. I love the brand and will defend the brand M till I can't, and I can't stand the /// wannabes who can't never been under the hood of their own car and argue against the brand itself, waiting to jump ship to Tesla, Porsche or Audi at any moments notice. And yes I've done the BMW Performance driving school so I've literally driven every ultimate driving machine there is, great cars I highly suggest one.
Peace. |
I almost didn't get Involved in this thread because I know the road it takes us all down. Arguing etc etc....I was just joking with you and try not to get to "worked" up about this stuff. We all love our cars and are lucky to be able to afford/drive them.
Honestly, this shit doesn't bother me nearly as much as the YUGE grilles, loss of DCT, and AWD in the ///M cars but that's for another day/thread.
