Unless the other air box on the passenger side is for the electric on demand turbo? ???
Also interesting is the two air filter boxes. This car is a RHD(!) werkstestwagen, just look at the windshield wipers. The shock towers have that spider web look of the F10 M5 EDC shock towers have.
I have "heard" BMW have gone with a hybrid marriage of the N54 block(& internals) and used the N55 double vanous head of the N55 - and then worked some M magic on that combo. Perhaps these rumors are true. ? S55 anyone? 
I also hear the DCT is all new too for the M3/M4 along with some other drivetrain surprises.  |
I hope it's called the S55Tu
Is there any word yet on the displacement of the inline block?
