The current B58/S68 are respectively very impressive engines and top of the class for turbo lumps. For price / performance / engineering / quality / practicality the current M2 is really in a class of its own.
100%. The crazy thing about all the regulations and engine development is I am achieving about the same MPG in my G80 manual as I did in my e93 DCT. Ok it’s about 1 mpg better if I’m being honest… but in spite of the marginal benefit and performance I’d take the NA.
