Well I think it depends, if its an occasion machine then the E92 is a stonker. As a daily possibly not.
The new ones improve because of that available power with the turbo but half the fun is getting it where it needs to be, the V8 S65 has a similar characteristics to the S54 and its not very often having 80% of torque at 2000rpm is a problem. Although the V8 is a little bit more of a slouch I wouldn't all it an inconvenience dropping it a gear is all the more fun. All I remember from that S65 is the bags of power it had and it never seemed to end definitely a licence looser.
Don't forget the S65 won engine of the year 08,09,10,11 and 12 in the 3.0 to 4.0 category.
