Few articles on the web point to Z4M and 335Ti (next gen 3 series) to get 350hp 3.0 TT.. Perhaps slightly larger turbos or just different tune.. Anyone heard anything. This engine in refreshed one would be nice..
Here are some links to articles:

That would make sense to see a Mid-Model refresh of the E92 around 2011'ish. BMW usually goes ~7-8 years on the 3 series model run.

My guess is they'll just turn up the boost a bit, but I wouldn't mind bigger turbos. Should be a direct bolt-on, maybe they'll include some bigger fuel components too.

Wasnt that same idea in the Dinan thread? Where he thought BMW was just getting comfortable with the 3.0TT and that they would probably do more in the future for making the engine stronger and providing for more boost.

Dinan was also worried about torqueing the current block at high hp/tq levels (basically saying the N54 stock block cannot make a dyno queen).
