I'm confused. The E30 M3 was naturally aspirated.
Correct my mistake there is no turbo on the E30 M3 the engine peripherals & mounting angle prevented the steering column being moved to the RHS of the engine compartment. I was thinking of the LHD 745i turbo version was not possible in RHD format as the turbo would have been in the way of the steering column. This is the reason how the "M7" came about
