Yes. I remember reading this about the Bxx engines compared to the Nxx ones but I wasn't exactly sure what it meant since I'm not very technically inclined. That's what I meant when I said basically the charge pipes are better in the newer engines. I'm glad the Bxx has better parts than the Nxx ones.
On another note, even our HPFP is the upgraded one (same as in the M340i and Supra and stuff). That's another part we don't need to upgrade
