02fireman · 12-22-2010, 07:17 AM

But if there is a will there is way. Porsche also sells the GT3 with 8500rpm on tap!!

Alumac · 12-22-2010, 08:17 AM

That was good.

ES BMW · 12-22-2010, 08:20 AM

Oh for crying out loud. They sell Vipers with V10s, Veyrons with 16 cylinders, Mercedes has more large, high powered engines than ///M and that's just from 10 seconds of thinking about it. It has ZERO to do with regulations; it's a decently powered existing engine - that's it. No significant new development costs, acceptable power.

Great video.

Have to give the author props for creativity.

Sounds like a comment from one of the guys left standing in the room.

AWESOME. 1M is a JOKE, to me. Wish I could scream it from the top of the Empire State Building. BMW FAIL big time on this one.

Worked for me! Obviously, it was scripted by someone who really knows BMWs.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, it does have somewhat to do with regulations. The stricter regulations are in Europe, which doesn't matter for the out of production Viper at this point. Bugatti is a part of the Volkswagen Automotive Group, so the high emissions of the Veyron are offset by the many small cars with low emissions that the VAG produces. Mercedes also has several small cars with low emissions to offset the bigger engines they make, but even they are moving to turbocharged engines to replace the big V8's.

kmarei · 12-22-2010, 10:25 AM

its so true, and really really sad at the same time
it's like seeing a childhood hero do infomercials
all these years of building up the M badge, above and beyond all competition
first the X5m now this?
and with rumours of the next M3 going down the same road
i can't help but shed a tear

i think plan B is go find a M3 E30 and spend like 20 grand on it, fix it up, and just stick with that

E82tt6 · 12-22-2010, 10:28 AM

ROFL, I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Unless they made enough tweaks that it doesn't fall flat on its face at 6k RPMs, I know I'll be more than a little disappointed.
