There is a.point where more HP/torque becomes a pissing match.

I really think we are at that point. My E90 had about 400 HP and about the same torque.

I could not, at least on public roads, could not use anywhere near the limits of performance.

I figure the i4 M50 hits the diminishing return threshold. For me any additional performance is a waste.

I above always purchased cars for a.mix of performance and comfort. Gas mileage wasn't an issue since none have been "gas guzzlers".

I don't know if the M50 would fit that definition,; it might due to weight and range. I'm still buying it. I haven't seen anything else that doesn't cost the whole six figures that I like.
