yup turbos aren't a bad thing but when it wheezes out way before redline there is no joy in taking it to the 7k redline as such in the n54. I would've been satisfied if M just developed an intake manifold suited for high RPM driving. At least that would have made it semi exclusive. Does anybody know if the tranny and gearing are the same also?
heck even the mini cooper s and JCW have completely different motors for just a 20hp gain. They completely redesigned the head and put in a built tranny to handle the rigors of tracking
