Does the reliable 360hp of N55 applies to the internal engine components or just to the turbo???
I just found odd that BMW would sell a car with a engine only 12% left from its internal limits. I know that this car propose is to be spanked at track and need higher levels of reliability but for a street daily basis i bet that you can achieve similar results with the same bolt ons (turbo, intercooler, exhaust and ecu) and last forever with a proper maintaince and driver care.
