“The M2 uses the same engine as the M3/M4, and torque output is the same for the manual versions of those cars, yet, BMW mapped the output to be more smooth in its delivery. The result is an engine that never hits you over the head with an unexpected slug of torque at some absurdly low RPM, and one that encourages revving beyond 6000 rpm.”

This is what TH guys wiffed, and one thing that annoyed me about the M3 power delivery. If you want 0-60 acceleration in the 3.2s range, it’s great. If you want a car that encourages high revving, and more reasonable engagement at lower RPMs especially in manual form … the M2 is a better tool for the purpose.

Now can we get the same setup in an M coupe please.
