As you can see this new power plant will be very potent, but definitely not a top end screamer as its predecessor as horsepower plateaus around 5,500 rpm. That sprint to redline wont yield any more power.
Almost seems as if BMW artificially created a high redline to appeal to the normally aspirated gearheads/magazines.

Even if power does not increase (i.e plateaus) past 5500RPM, it does yield a lot of
useable power all the way up in the rev range; and that will translate in real world performance.
