Unless we just start calling it the overhyped thus overpriced ultimate comfort machine.
Rant over.

The S55 in the M2C is detuned to 400HP because of its position in the lineup. Have you ever looked at a Dyno graph? The M3 CS has an identical engine and puts out 453HP. The M4 GTS includes water injection and hits 490. Getting that power, reliably with bullet proof cooling is a feat of engineering. That's what you pay for in a BMW - engineering. The fact you keep comparing to cooking Mustang is laughable, and posting laps on Cup 2's doesn't support your narrative at all.
