How in the hell are they going to get to 380 BHP without doing a whole lot more than that???
Many comments about forged this and that and yet to see it all besides talk. Have you pulled a part the n55 to go over its internals. Have you seen anyone use a bigger turbo to see what the motors can really handle? Stop this hear say, obviously Bmw knows what they're doing!
