Yes Levi, we all know by now that you are absolutely against turbo charging in M cars, you have been writing that for the past 6 months. I'm sure BMW will have more time now (than with the 1M) to do more engine tuning. And especially for you, they can give that engine a different name. So it will not be 'just a tuned' version of a motor that's also in non-M cars... |

Levi, When they build 1M they dont need to do anything on N55 engine, just chip little. Only bad thing is that intake noise is gone, but otherwise FI engines are lot better, It´s allso weigth less than S54 NA(N55 190kg, S54 ~210kg), maybe N55 aluminium-magnesium block makes differend.
I think next generation M3 F80 need forged engine parts if they wanted to taken +450hp, if I am rigth N55 engine doesn´t have forgen pistons, rods, crank etc? |

But i gota admit that S65 sure does sound sexyyy. The I6 engine setup really is BMWs trademark, this car is going to be SICK. Shoulda saved an extra year for the 2014 M3. I wonder how much horse they can get out of the new tri turbo engine |
