That's insane for a 2 litre turbo 4...more hp and tq than what was available in most NA V8s! Would that ever be on my shopping list? Nooope.
Fully agree.

There’s a sort of threshold where 4 cylinders stops being acceptable, regardless of performance. There’s a feel, and especially a sound to bigger engines that a 4 cylinder will never match.

The C63 felt over engined which was a big appeal. The e92 was the same. Part of the reason while as much as I love my M4CS I can’t shake my desire for an e92
Competition
I had a 718S for a month ... awesome on the track but just wasn't a fun overall experience. Lacked theater.
