28 years ago, the E30 M3 was making 235HP and 177ft-lbs from a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder. Now, 28 years later, no other NA I4 comes close. Why the fuck did this happen?

I'd rather have the extra torque over the S2000's peaky power that doesn't start until 7000 RPM.
this
but funny how JDM fanboys claim the F20C is a gods gift from heaven and shit even though it's just on par with a 80's bmw engine lol
There was also the 968, but that had a full 3 liters of displacement and it's not exactly modern either.
e30 M3 - 94hp/L
toyota 86 - 102hp/L
BTFO
e30s are the best cars (even the ones with carbed m10)
gods chariots
(yourer waifu a shit)
negar wot
E30s are great but let's not pretend the m10 is acceptable
well done BMW
HOWEVER
>275 bhp
>1975
Only basic bitch """enthusiasts""" care about this worthless metric. How about stats that matter?
235hp > 205hp
177ftlbs > 156ftlbs
Linear power band > torque dip
I4 > pigfat H4
>e30 m3 - 2,646 lbs
>86 - 2,624 lbs
why is the e30 so pigfat? it doesn't even have airbags?
>7% improvement in 30 years
LOL
my waifu is furry trash so you're right
>yourer
because i4s are inherently shit, why go to the trouble?
end urself faggot
>handbuilt homosexual racing model of which only 600 were made
>a regular shitbox you can buy for $20k
Toyota Celica GTS - 108 hp/L
>7000rpm
it starts at 5500
I loved the M10 in my old E21, they're tanky engines if nothing else
>yfw S14 is a modified M10
Post BMEP or Nm/litre
BHP/Litre is worthless
M3 - 96Nm/L
86 - 102Nm/L
Muh MPGS. And most 4cyl were being shoved into decidedly non-sporty cars.
You can boost them to the moon, unlike m42's
later E30's came with airbags, and they're fairly solid cars.
You think that's bad? E39 M5's were 2tons.
