The day the standard car goes that way though they will lose me, and I suspect many other customers.
Well......I'll bet that not too long ago some blokes said that "if BMW M cars go by way of turbo and lose their all-motor "spirit", they'll lose me". The most difficult thing about change isn't the actual change itself, it's the build up to it and the anticipation of the new.

I really still don't think, however, that we will find Jimmy Hoffa.
It's funny. Turbo brought me to the BMW family. I came from a G35 and a R32 GTR before that. I really missed having a twin turbo inline 6 with a manual transmission. Don't regret it at all. Glad to be here. Now if the M had front wheel assist like the GTR's it would be perfect, lol.
