Bottom line is BMW currently makes a non-M car that even the top of the pack Toyota cars cant compete with.
Just because something FITS does not mean it was meant to go there. I am sure the balance is pretty off and a lot of chassis strengthening had to be done to fit those bigger engines.

The 3 comes with a I-4 or even diesels in Europe. You simply don't stuff a V-8 or V-10 in there unless you want to twist the entire chassis. You have to mod the entire car to do it RIGHT.
