- dyno curves

Did you see the difference in the N54B30TO and N55B30TO dyno curves?
The new motor makes a TON more power at 6500 rpm and is still making power where the N54 has already given up... It looks like it really fully pulls to 7000.... I don't think that's just tuning and beefed up internals..

- everyone doubts BMW M... and they always find a way to throw down a trump card.

As you mentioned.... there is a lot of work done to the M2 motor.... and I can't see keeping the same snail when so much else has changed from the regular N55 - this is BMW M..
Where is the "reference to a redesigned manifold/turbo" ?

I think if BMW had put so much as upgraded wiper blades on the M2 it would be in that marketing material they published as a "Technical Training Document"

Why would they leave out an upgraded turbo, but mention the wastegate and other small things. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm being realistic here.
