Its crazy to think that more power in this car will diminish it in any way.

I don't think anyone is insinuating that adding power to this platform will ruin the car, but this car was created with balance in mind. In a 2700lb production street car 200hp is the perfect formula. Any more and you're wasting horsepower, you can only use so much on the street.
I had an 08 335i and honestly one of the things that I disliked about it the most was when you would ring it out through 2nd you're already breaking the speed limit...what's the point of having a car with so much power when you can't have fun using it every day without fear of losing your license?
That's the point of this car, usable power for the true enthusiast. If you can't accept that then go buy something else. I feel that anyone who knows what true driving enjoyment is about will understand this car. People who are all about status and numbers will be disappointed. I love it, it makes it easy to pick out the people who...yeah nvm.
