I don't think so. However, The European version of the M54 has a higher output than the US 225 HP figure due to a higher 98 Octane availability. The motor can automatically adjust timing even with lower than 91 recommended Octane. If 98 were available here in US you could get an easy and cheap 9 BHP increase in power to I think it is around 234 BHP.
