Would be awesome if it were true and would solve the problem with the m1 being faster than the m3. Seems like a win/win for everyone and would be better than holding the m1 back ala cayman vs 911. Can you comment on this article and the engine speculation specifically Scott? From your previous comments it seems car and driver is just making their information up, but we would love to hear your reaction to the article. Thanks! |
