If this engine is rated as conservatively as all the other BMW petrol turbo engines have been, it is going to be one hellacious power plant.

There has been a lot of speculation as to why BMW is publishing such conservative numbers. It reminds me of about 30 years ago when no manufacturer would publish a horsepower spec over 300 for fear the insurance companies would spank them.
