BMW was a long-time advocate of Inline N/A engines. And for a good reasons. But when American and Japanses V6 competition pushed the HP envelope, BMW was forced to go turbo route.

BMW can make big HP without Turbos. It's just cheaper to do with Turbos. They save the big power naturally aspirated engines for the M's. I don't have the figures in front of me but I see allot of $$$$$ to prove a 370z could be made faster.

NICE! I wonder if they are as bullet proof as the Supra Engines. I bet there are still some Supra's out there that can beat allot of cars on the track.

The new M5/6 is a TT V8, so I'm sure there's more power to be made. No BMW will ever be as bulletproof as a Toyota.

When will people realize this isn't a straight line drag racing car.. Yet z fanboys still drool over twin turbo kits so they can barely smoke a modified muscle car that doesn't have as much cash into it..

I rode in a 500 something horsepower supra yesterday and now all i want is BOOST. Its easy to sell off the Z as "a good twisties car", and I was okay with that till yesterday. Big turbo power is no joke. When he hit the gas my butthole got tight enough to crush a water bottle. I want that in my car...

What size water bottle? 20 oz? A liter? Full or empty? There's a big difference.
