...Carrera with 400Hp, the S with 430Hp, GT3 with 480Hp and Turbo 520Hp, this should be the right numbers to put us all a smile in the face, and taking out the risk of being trashed by a Benz E55 with 4 people inside and the dog barking at your face in the rear trunk while letting you standind on the highway thinking you had subit loss of power.

The engine in my 2002 M3 blew up at 13,000 miles. That car managed to annoy me every day--you had to press a button to agree to a legal disclaimer on the navagation screen, you had to press the sport button every time you got in the car because it would default to normal, the audio volume would increase with speed, but would get too loud! I'm not suprised they have a horsepower button just to be annoying.

2 houres ago I was in a BMW Garage, big dealer in Zurich (Switzerland) and I asked some questions about the new M5.
They told me, that the power button should be for city-cruise, and that it's more economic and saves fuel. But a mechanic told me, that it's because of giving the car to the wife or the son. But I laughed about it, because also 400 hp ist too much for insensate son.
After all, It was definitely not the truth, but that's what BMW-Dealers tell their customers.
They told me things like, you can program the key with 507 hp or you can change it and program it on the car cpu-unit.
