The real problem with installing into a smaller chassis is airflow for the additional cooling required.

BMW has to allow for those who can only purchase ACN crapgas.

“... the Q50's and Q60's are really starting to feel like Godzilla Jr’s.”

Only when you kiss it very deeply.

Go drive a X3 M40i then tell us how bad it is compared to the Tiguan.

Same thing happened with the S63 in the X5/6M before they were in the M5/6/6GC.

Tell that to the wealthy geezers who love their X6 in the land of the pick-ups.

“I found the seats felt thin and too stiff .... they didn’t feel cushy to me.”

Or you can buy the Z4 M40i and get 382 HP stock.

That is a given as that is the only one we will see in the USA.

Well, at a superficial glance, perhaps. But the new M340i with the revised B58 is almost as fast as the F80 M3.  Progress is not to be denied.

Yeah, but do not ever run an X5M or X6M. All but the Turbo S Cayennes are seriously embarrassed.  The Turbo S, just slightly less embarrassed.

Maybe it was the nut behind the wheel that was missing?

“Don’t get me started on weird M-sport packages on non-M models....”

I think an extra 120 HP is going to make a wee bit faster.

Sounds like the old “Wish I could afford to test drive one” blues.

Well, if that interior looks that good in a truck, I am certainly anticipating an even more glorious one in a M3/4.

That is pretty sad. He has done many songs better.

Last year’s European B7 could also.  North American ones were limited to 192 mph.

All I know is my Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV had no trouble passing either one on the curve. It should have handled better but did not maybe due to not having an LSD. Straight line was no contest. Neither was cruising.
