What would a modern day E46 M3 CSL look like out of the factory?

That car paired with an N/A I-4 like the Honda K20Z out of a Civic Si would be cool. 200 hp, 140 tq, 8300 rpm redline. Honda reliability.

Or even a sportbike engine like from an R1. That would be some f1 status shit. Only thing is youre down on torque

Of the cars I owned, my favorite (by far) was my 96 Prelude VTEC.
It needed to be at 5k rpm minimum to keep it in the power band. This, in turn, made the car very engaging and fun to drive.
And since it's a Honda, it can be revved like that and not blow up.
Never should have sold it.
