They both produce 370 ft./lbs of torque, and the latter produces 340HP, in the overboost mode. This figure matches the speculation about the 1M's output. Couldn't the answer to this question ("what kind of N54 does the 1M have?") be as simple as "the one in the E89 35is"?

The "hybrid" clue that Scott mentions could allude to the fact that 1M's N54 has been modified to produce the 370 ft./lbs / 340HP output at all time, and not just in overboost mode.

Just my hypothesis...
Yes, we know, but hope not. We don't want an "is", we want an M3 killer.
