the gas. That engine sounds like it's ready for a topend overhaul or a least a good valve adjustment. I hope everyone has noticed that the valves on the new M3 will have to be adjusted more so than the other models. My guess is that they have not been taking very good care of this test car and that no break in time was allowed for the rings and valve to seat. Just my $.02 worth.
