I mean c'mon. It's not like a full on "M" today with modern EPS rack and magical suspension systems would drive anything like the old cars anyhow. If they released the M40i as a full fledged M and didn't tell anyone, no one would know the difference in today's day and age of car tech.
I have to say I agree with the guy. The M40i will be as quick and sound as good as any roadster really needs to in order to justify the niche. If you need more speed to chase lap times, wtf are you in a roadster again? Go buy a coupe like M2 or M3/M4, which is much more universally allowed on track with its roof structure and all.  |
BMW use to have the 'know how' to build a proper sports car.
The M Coupe was a car that really took the fight to Porshe.
