You wouldn't call an LS3 swap in a 135i "not aftermarket" just because you slapped the N54's plastic engine cover on top of it.
I guess you're right. I always went by what they were called (hybrids) since the external is oem. I wouldn't consider them to be completely aftermarket.

Don't RBs run same boost as oem turbos?
