Thorburn Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 An extra 1.3 litres and all they can get is 10bhp more. AMG will always be the hacksaw to M's scapple.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Do the BMW M engines loose tune quickly? As they are highly tuned.......... My brother-in-law had an R-reg M3, and it was flat as cow pat.
