Does anyone think the engine looks the same? I don't. I believe they will give this engine a proper S designation.
Anyone think its larger than a 3.0L?

It will be a proper "S" just like the X5/X6/M5/M6. From what I heard early on is that we have never seen the engine in this form before- block, head, etc... not saying that it is "all new" but this is a huge revision. That is why I earlier pointed out the oil, its in a different location than the stock N55 (thanks for posting those comparos) Meaning there is a new head, not a reworked base head- can't make that big of a change without recasting. There are also some other changes that are not just for the turbos...
