In the end who cares if the engine code is the same. I will take a factory tuned car anyday over an aftermarket software fix. It is not only the engine that make an M car. The 135 suspension is very weak not to mention the lack of LSD.

Your off topic. The thread is about tuning differences as it pertains to power, not handling. I already noted the handling differences and LSD. I consider an engine that I build the power plant. Because that is where the power comes from. I don't consider the exhaust or anything beyond the throttle body part of the actual power plant. Potato, potato I guess.
