That's why I'm hoarding older BMW ///M cars. If ///M applied the same overall engineering philosophy pre-current gen turbo M motors with today's engineering and technology plus free of the burden of emissions regulations the amount of awesomeness in terms of driving experience would be further ahead than it is today (notice I said experience and not outright performance; HP/torque wars are over and everyone has won at this point).
