Why be a jackass, dude? What do you gain?

From the BIMMERPOST BMW M3 / M4 First Drive Review posted here, earlier today:
"The M GmbH's direct-injected S55 engine is derived from BMW AG's N55 engine, and some parts are interchangeable, but its character and performance level put it in a class of its own."
Wikipedia on the S55:
"It is a version of N55 engine that replaced the BMW S65 engine"
Autoweek:
"The newly developed engine, known under the internal codename S55 B30, shares its 84.0 mm bore and 89.6 mm stroke with BMW's standard turbocharged 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder direct-injection gasoline mill, the N55 used across the German car maker's lineup, endowing the aluminum block unit with an overall swept volume of 2,979 cc."
I bill $275 an hour. How much longer do you want me to research?
