Fail: Describing the 2002 as "the first production car to use turbocharging". I realize the idea that we Yanks could come up with something first is off-putting to the TG boffins, but GM was sticking turbos on the Corvair's flat 6 and the Olds' aluminium block V8 10 years earlier.

for those who don't want to read the whole thing this pretty much sums it up:
"Right now, though, the M2 is almost exactly what you’d hope 40 years of blood, sweat, tears and technology would result in. BMW has just rebooted the ultimate driving machine." insert take my money meme |

On the other hand you might want to remember Yanks fondly next time you turn your light on in your house, or use the telephone.
The attempts at playing on the presumed superiority of a nation, or make fun of tired stereotypes truly have no place in a conversation in this millennium. So GM got there before BMW, but didn't invent the turbo. Big deal. Move on.
