Would be interesting if BMW adapts some of the turbo technology that will be seen in F1 next year
Of particular interest is the MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit - Heat) that is attached to the turbo: Quote:

Any rumours of a electric turbocharger on the next M3/M4 might be a similar device as shown here, to spool up the turbos, or slow it down instead of using a wastegate to dump excess exhaust.

Here is MagnetiMarelli's version of a "electric/hybrid" turbo. TThey have chosen a slightly different solution with the generator/motor unit between the compressor and turbine units of the turbo. Seems like Mercedes is using a variant of this solution as well.

I thought I'd take another look and discovered the valve cover has a disguised logo that obviously ends with "Power", anyone able to work with the photo to bring out the rest of the letters?

If you have driven a N54 powered car such as the 335IS, it is hard to agree. Owned a 2011 335IS and drove V8 powered M3s at the BMW Spartenburg, SC test track. The 335IS acceleration with 379ft-lbs of torque is much more fun to drive. Of course, the M3 is the complete package and has much better handling than the 335IS. Therefore, I think when the lighter, faster reving( believe me no turbo lag in the N54), better accelerating twin/tri turbo is married to the M3 chassis, we will all be very impressed!

I had both an N54 and an N55 car, they are both very good engines but the S65 blows them into orbit IMO. Still I'm looking very much forward to the F80 but it has nothing to do with the change of engine. It will be fun to see what they have cooked up and I'm certain it will be awesome but the S65 is extraordinary and very,very special IMO. We will never again see such an engine outside exotics.

New M3 Engine
I think it should be called a ELECTROMECHANICALSUPERTURBOCHARGER. That about covers it , don't you think?

Retiring this thread from the sticky'd thread list.
Don't know why this was ever doubted seeing as the confirmation came straight from the BMW NA CEO to our ear. But, happy to see that the official specs have finally confirmed what we've been saying since May 2012.
