It is not always about power. The S14 was truly special when it came to life at higher revs and with the sweet E30 chassis that combo defines the roots of the M brand. Driven around town the S14 was a regular (if you want to call it regular) 4-banger however in the open road or track it was great!
Damn, I should have bought that mint E30 M3 last year...
There have been so many great BMW engines that we can discuss this forever. Your, and Tony's, inline 6 is also a fantastic engine especially that raspy metallic sound.
To Ken, did you consider a 135i and stripping the car for track purpose? It is a nice chassis, compact with a powerful engine. I find the 1 Series Coupe to be a modern day E30 but with many more modern day amenities.

If you have cash lying around, get a 1M.
