I mean 20HP seems like slightly significant boost in a car of that size. It also bothers me because I'm thinking about a new 5er and I'm still wondering whether 235HP is gonna be enough for such a big car.
It would depend on what you think significant is. It might be as much as 1 to 2 tenths of a sec. Not likely your calibrated butt accelerometer will tell the difference.
