I personally love the 1M and it is an awesome true M track animal but I do not get the line regarding the "benefits of a wide-torque band" in this context. Everyone knows obviously wide band is a good thing however this article seemed to be addressing those people who praise the NA M high revving engines and dismiss the turbos as being inferior on a track. GIven the m3 is heavier and still clearly does it a second quicker, doesn't that make a better arguement that indeed it is a high-revving engine like the s65 is a better choice if money and mileage was not an issue?
With a DCT you can also stay in 3rd gear throughout the entire track almost. 1M is better in many ways so was not sure why they did not highlite that rather than the "wide" torque band which actually the m3 technically has a wider band than the 1M.
What is impressive is teh XM WOW. As fast as a 335is and z4is-that is pretty ridiculous!
Anyone know what an e90 330i did that track in?
