You read all the press releases...so how could you honestly think that?

They specifically pointed out that this "N55" had a new closed deck block, a forged crank, upgraded pistons, etc. They literally drafted marketing material for the purpose of distinguishing the M2's engine from the regular N55. They made sure to put people's minds at ease that this wasn't a standard N55.

And...for some reason...you think they left out a larger turbo? Either accidentally or intentionally?

How does that make any sense?
