AND I an no dreamer, but for me its totally clear, that the new M3/M4 is not so fast because of its engine, but in spite of his engine ... there are many other things in the new M3/M4, which make its as fast as it is.

Your points are well taken and you do contribute to this forum in a positive way. I feel that there are so many variables involved in the automotive industry that it makes this a complex issue to explain why one company chooses to go a certain direction versus another.
