Sure if they have new engine that NA with as much TQ as the 1M sure great go for it. Other wise you'd be stupid to want a 360HP S54 in the 1M.

I'll stick with my N54T thanks.
That was the original plan from BMW. Everyone knows the weak link of the 1M is the engine which hardly lives up to what a proper M engine is. And I've had torque loaded BMWs before, it was part of the reason I sold it.

And seeing as S54 engines make 330whp with minor bolt ons, I can only imagine where a proper set of cams and some factory R&D could take you.
