Why cant you guys just take the numbers for what they are?

It is a habit of wittnessing BMW underrating its turbo engines, in some cases greatly. That's why. I agree that there is nothing underrated about the S65 or previous S engines though.
It does not mean that it will be the case with the new engine, just that it is possible.
More important is the weight, feel of the new steering, handling balance etc. No one should be worried about the engine numbers and performance since it sure will outperform the S65 underrated or not.
