This is a good example of numbers not telling the whole story.
Surely there are quite a few boosted four-cylinder engines out there making more power, but the character of the N52 is just so refined and power delivery so effortless. Throw in RWD and I think the 128i easily beats any hot hatch or turboed econobox.
