S54 vs. S65 - Overview, history, comparison, and power potential

Hey, you know what? I just realized the initial post pointed to this thread but was CENSORED! It took someone else to point them to the bimmerforums thread that referenced back here. Cool. I guess the mods really don't like competing forums over there. Sheesh.

Anyhoo, good job Sticky.

Cheers everyone.

Thank you.

Actually, it's personal, Jason specifically targets me with censorship to try to prevent us from succeeding. Classy guy, how is that working out for him?

I kinda figured it was him. Wasn't sure though until you confirmed. Trying to prevent another site from succeeding is petty. The Internets are big enough for everybody.


Cheers.

Great motor. I don't think bfc is, but e46f.com sure is.

[GG///M3]

I agree with that statement.

Kevlar fenders, titanium radiator and a ceramic plated hood. Wait. What? Um, nevermind.

This is too good:

Why was he banned? He definitely can write and knows his stuffs!

Anyone who contributes meaningfully to this forum gets banned. He's not the only one that's been chased out. If you don't pray to the God of BMW, they'll find a way to get you out. Having anything but a politically correct vocabulary will even get you kicked out for a while.

That's a great read! I liked the BMW vs Porsche section especially. I still remember when the M3 GTR was first released, and it's short and dramatic racing season.

What makes that part really special IMO is that BMW won this year with the V8. It really illustrates why Porsche tried to stop BMW from running the V8.

I understand why BMW had to pull out after the rule change since they realized how long the development time would be before they had a production M3 with a V8.

Sticky i say you should make a poll about Bmw's new direction about engines
it's good to know how many owners prefer more MPG than more power

seriously??? this would genuinely cause a problem?? wow people may need to search ebay for " A life". i think it would be a great piece, especially for people like myself who dont understand the pro's and cons of different types of units!! i not talking about doing a VS, im talking about a constructive piece of the differences and potential pitfalls of EACH unit.

I was joking... I think it would be a good piece.

I plan on doing an S54 forced induction guide it just is a ton of work.
