I was under the impression that both use the same block and same internal specs (size at least). First they released a strong engine (forged internals) to avoid problems and gain market trust (+600rwhp vishnu fftec). Then they focused into reducing costs: one turbo cheaper than two; weaker/cheaper internal parts... But as i said before, i still don't believe that BMW would gamble to release a FI engine with just 12% of margin for internal parts (rods, pistons, crankshaft...). Just do the math for others BMW FI engines stock vs tuners values with just bolt ons.

You don't need a 600hp stage to kill Porsche's/Lambo's/Ferrari's at track. I bet that a stock engine with dedicted suspension, brake and tire combo will be enough for that job.
I want to believe into tuningwerk claims but words is just words and it isn't enough for me. I'm looking forward for that info and see how different it is from other tuners stages. There is on youtube a red BMS 335i with RB turbos and a serious weight reduction killing a bung of high hp cars.
