I agree it’s cheaper horsepower…but why would anyone buy a BMW for cheap HP? Chrysler has that market pretty well cornered right now with the SRT8 line. Nobody looks to a BMW for cheap power.

Why would you want to? I prefer the feeling of turbo power.

That’s personal opinion, and the reviews I’ve read of the 335, say it feels like the V8, and they didn’t notice any lag. Obviously bigger turbos would bring some lag, but again, some of us like a turbo powerband.

I know you BMW purists don’t like turbos, that’s why so few BMWs have had them, but a properly set up turbo does not feel artificial.

Gee I think I could survive…I drive a freaking Jeep. It gets worse gas mileage, and rides worse.

And you guys wonder why people stereotype BMW owners, you just tried to make it sound like driving a $50k car is some kind of a hardship. I guess the average BMW owner really is a big bitch.
