Is the bore spacing identical to N55? Certainly shows BMW is not afraid of quite high specific outputs, this is higher than the Porsche 911 Turbo.

For a N54/55 engine 450BHP should be peanuts... Cheers Robin |

I'm not sure it'll be that high until the price gouging power pack version arrives in 3 years, but I do expect 440-450hp at release. While power to weight is key, I would feel a little cheated with a power bump of 1-10bhp that M3Post keeps rumoring. For the record, I've said for a year now I think it'll be c.440bhp.
