Who cares? Like you said, this is not about having the fastest car out there setting Nürburgring laptimes. It's all about the experience of driving an old school M car, which you know will never come back.

Up to E92 and E60, there was this certain German-geeks-done-good-about attitude in BMW M engines, which I don't feel quite the same with the new ones.
Maybe it is because I am not a big fan of turbocharging in the first place, but it does take a lot more engineering effort to get the best out of an NA engine.
