That would be an epic win. Leverage the technology (just like the S85 -> S65) as Rick said. And like I said, the rest of the effort is a damn good! S45? I'd have a hard time resisting such a little beastie! |
5.0 V10= 500hp
4.0 V8=414hp >300 tq
3.0 V6 = less power, WAY less tq, and BMW doesn't do V6's because they're too "not inline sixish" in their Power deliver and smoothness
