What Steved said. It is not the hp, but rather the engineering approach. This engine appears to lay a foundation for the next generation of BMW engines. Drive the 3.0 twin turbo in any current BMW model, then take those results, and extrapolate them to an even newer generation of engines, and I think you will be impressed.
