Why would you want the S54 6 when you could het a V8 based off of the V10. It will be a monster compared to the 6. Dont get me wrong I love the strait 6 and have owned every M3 model made to date except for the E30. But I cant wait for this V8 to come out. Besides how much more hp do you think they could have reliably have gotten out of a 3.2 strait 6? No where close to what the V8 is gonna put out in my opinion.

And seriously what the hell do you need a 9000 redline for in a V8. 8250 is already extremely high for a road car and the higher the redline the lower the torque.
