See signature. It's a great total package and the engine has its merits for sure, but also its drawbacks. Like the fact that it makes ~400 BHP but not even 300 torques.
I drove my friends '10 M3 with DCT, I never felt it lacking in low-end grunt. Is it an LS1? No. But the extra gear certainly helps it move around just fine.

Yes, Cadillac built cars with 500cu in engines for several years. The V10 in the Viper is "only" 488cu in.
