thats why bmw managed 2 small. power difference is not noticeable on public roads or even on the track. really negligible.

just enjoy your new car. you wont miss power... if you like it louder, install a tuning exhaust and all is good
Will sure do buddy and thanks for your interventions. You are absolutely right, on the road i will not miss any power.

In all honesty, the 3 things that made me think about this were:

1. C&D review.

2. Zero to Sixty times (pic attached)

3. This guy's timings (he counts from dead-stop):




All of them give 3.8 times so that is why i was amazed to see EU models pulling 4.3s
