Which it won't.
It's a modified N55: N55B30T0. The T0 designation is what separates it from a regular N55. It is not yet publicly known what the changes the M division have done. Hopefully the changes include a turbo that can flow more than the regular N55, and stronger internal bits in the bottom end of the engine - crank, rods, pistons. I'm sure the stock boost targets will be higher to suit the current output figure claims - which can be done with the existing regular N55 turbo. However, without a larger turbo, there's significantly less aftermarket headroom for easy power increase.

The new M3 and M4 have the S55B30.
