Remember many countries including Germany uses SI. Which means extra 50kw = 275kw = 370hp.

Weight I would say would be similar because of the wheels and LSD, but it will have better distribution.

Also it will be based on the N55, both South and I believe that there would be something a bit special than just a straight twin turbo to make it worthy of a) an M, and to be the basis for the next M3.
Here's the challenge. All REAL ///M cars have individual TB's. Are they going to add ITB's to the N55 and make is an S55TT?
