A bit OT , but I just read an article about the soon to end downsizing of engines. New mesures for CO2 / fuel consumption starting in 2017 will be much more close to reality. And the small turbo charged engines will not get good results anymore . There is often a 40 % difference between the official mesures and reality in fuel consumption . These small engines have been tuned just to pass the test on the bench .  Bigger engines will have a much better real world result .

First example is the new VW Polo GTI . They dropped the 1.4 l turbo for a 1.8 l . Only problem ......  red zone starts at 4500 RPM  , for a fuel engine .

That said, I am happy to see they are not going with a small 4 cylinder on the M2 .  I have always liked those 6 in lines .
