Some bimmerpost members are driving 500whp+ N55s, what is your source about the max power for a standard N55 ?
I hope for m2 owners that their turbo will allow them to put more horses  But I find strange that companies can know how much they can gain without any tests. Do some american tuners give numbers at this moment ? |
Like I said, Dackel had a thread on it a while back - a German company made a souped up 235 before the M2 was confirmed - the conclusion after the engine tear down was that 360 was the max the engine could make
reliably.
Can you tune it up higher? Sure - but at the cost of longevity.
The N55 ain't the N54....which had forged internals and could make substantially more power without upgrading those same internals.
