As the technology improves, then so shall the performance. If BMW can make a 4-cylinder screamer that'll give me north of 300 lbs of torque in a superlight body, then fine. But until that day, I'll be sticking with my V8.
I'm even skeptical of the new M3 coming down the pike going back to an inline-6. It would have to give 100 more HP before I give up my V8, which by the way we can all easily supercharge to 525/600 HP if we wanted to.
For me, moving from my E46 M3 to the new E90 was a REVOLUTION in driving experience.

Yea but supercharging will cost you a arm and a leg. Its so easy to make big power with a turbo or turbo's. I think the new m twin turbo 6 will be a beast.
