When we get an M3/M4 with a higher stated peak torque, all the magazine racers will finally be happy.
My badd. You are right. That's why everybody buys 335's because it comes with 300 lb ft and ours comes with 295.

The e9X M3's were absolute failures in the mind of BMW which is why the new M3/M4 will get the n55 (335) motor.
