The examples being lets say BMW E46 M3 and the new BMW G80 M3. The E46 has a 3.2 i6 NA that makes 338hp, the G80 M3 has a 3.0 i6 twin turbo that makes 510hp.

What technological advancements have been made, other than the turbos and 20 years, that separate these 2 cars?

If you know something really technical feel free to share.

    I thought myself that tighter tolerances have a massive part in it.

    But damn, 300 sensors in the entire car?

    Holy smokes!!

    What do you guys do when some sensor stops working or feeds wrong data?

    And how do you make them reliable at all?

    All i want to say is thank you man for designing these beautiful machines that i at least get to look at and learn about, not so much drive lmao.

    To me every car is worth loving from an economy shitbox to a hypercar, all of them have had millions of work hours put into them from designing to engineering to manufacturing, least i can do is thank you 🙏🙏🙏.

    God knows how much time you put into some of the parts no matter how small or “insignificant” they might seem.
