Yes, exactly. I can't think that BMW are too pleased at the prospect of and MB competitor pushing out 65 horses more from an engine that's got 2.2 litres more than the anticipated M3 V8 and weighs about the same!
Then again, this isn't anything new. Mercedes have, traditionally, always had bigger displacement, bigger torque engines than their M counterparts.
Still, hot dang, 630 Nm in a CLK...? Now that's some muscle. More, in fact than, a new 911 Turbo sans sport chrono package.
