Yeah, I get it- they want to make money, but I want a real (time-honored to be fair) M motor if I'm putting up M dollars- not so much in the way of turbos and fuel efficiency- that could and should be left to mainstream models. Not that either are a bad thing just not where M models should be heading IMO. Maybe the N55 is that great and even the purists will be on board- I hope so. I mean people will have to want this car basically as much as a Cayman and not so much less than the Cayman S and Boxster Spyder. It had better be a pretty damn special 1er is the point I'm getting at.
