ima need a second opinion on this one, cos even bmw surely can't be that silly!
You could actually lose a good bit of power increasing the diameter. Dont forget about scavenging, especially for N/A motors you need to pull all the air out quickly to fill the cylinders fully with the fresh incoming charge. F/I cars like the Evo/Sti easily fill the cylinders through turbo pressure.
