That means if it puts down 270HP to the wheels, it can probably handle max 540rwhp!!!
Keep in mind that's the "engine", which is not surprising considering the iron block (and odd 3rd hand speculation as well) and not the rest of the things attached to it. Go ask the e90post guys, they've been researching this a lot longer than we have here. The weak point is the transmission, and there is also the fact that you're going to have a hell of a time getting much more than say 450whp out of the tiny turbos.
