Read up more on BMW, you will see why they changed direction. They needed to step up to the 8 to be more competitive. The I6 in the E46 was the best they could do (CSL notwithstanding).

It is not behind the times in terms of power. The Z is NOT a mucscle car. It is a sports car. As such it is right there with the TT RS, Cayman/Cayman S/1 M coupe/Genesis, etc.

And how do you know the VQ37VHR is not reliable? I could say the same about the Z06's engine. I have 'read' a few thread about their engines going kaboom. I guess the few stories I have read makes it true. Same with the RX8. People that did not know how to care for a Rotary and needed engine replacements made the engne unreliable. I never had any problems from mine.

Enjoy whatever ride makes you smile and do not knock others. Do not be a hater, but then again.... Haters will hate.
