Not doubting it is true, just noting it is unusual.

Count me in as someone who would prefer the turbo look without the turbo issues especially if its a convertible. As these cars age less and less people are buying for the performance anyway.
Regarding the specific M491 that 3.4 conversion adds a ton of value and it may in the real world drive nicer than a turbo. Best of both worlds.
