i think in the coming years with American companies staying with V8s. we might start to see a different light. they have a bad rep atm.

Well fair enough... but the M3/M4 is not a lightweight sports car with a large V8 that revs to barely 7K.
If the m3 got a motor that revs that low, there would be an absolute uproar for example in that arena. Also, to get a motor to rev that high, it can't be that large of a displacement typically hence automatically less tq, lower mpg and so forth so forth. It's a complicated scenario.
The turbo motors resolve almost all issues in one. You can even make a turbo motor sound good, the only real concern is responsiveness which we can't speak on yet in terms of the new m3.
