no it is 302hp. its not a big engine and those arent big turbos. its only going in the 3 series and possibly 1 series and those arent that heavy.

And whats the bet that it will be one of the best sounding sixes you've ever heard. BMW engineering is complete and absolute genius.

You are right.

BMW reveals a potent new twin-turbo inline six that delivers 225kW and a gutsy 400Nm

225kw + 34% = 302 hp

Did anyone see the Injection System ?

it wont be the M1 as BMW made an M1 about 40 years ago. was a nice little 2-door with a v8 if i remember. closest they have in the 1 series is the "130i M Sport". pretty nippy and a full body kit and suspension workover.
