OK, I'll repeat myself, what basis do you have assuming that? Or, again, as you attempted to refute...is it just wishful thinking?
Sad as it may seem, BMW doesn't care about how much headroom they give their customers for aftermarket gains.
So again, while we all hope it's an up-sized snail...we have nothing to support that it is. In fact, because they've publicly mentioned all the other improvements over the standard N55, and haven't mentioned a larger turbo...one could argue that fact as evidence that they are the same.
Certainly, it would go some way in protecting M4 sales. After all, an M2 with a stock turbo supporting 450 whp would certainly make a more compelling case vs. the M4.
P.S. I say all of this...while too think it's a bigger turbo...but not based on anything but a guess/hope/wishful thinking. Moreso that I don't think they can sell the M2 alone a VERY underrated B58 M240 unless the M2 is underrated itself.
