Should we get N55, I am sure the turbo will be factory upgraded, sooooo there goes that theory.
A tune, DPs and decent eth mix will see 450whp on this car I'm sure.

500whp?
1. How long will that engine last without overheating on the track?
2. Can the oil cooler and radiator handle all the heat at maximum HP?
3. Can the gearbox, clutch and other parts of the drivetrain handle the extra power?
4. Can the Catalytic Converter last 70,000 mile without warranty claim as required by EPA regulations with that much heat from the engine?
You are just quoting someone got XXXwhp without the engine blowing up. Do you know how their setup affects the engine/drivetrain reliability in the long run?
They probably don't know either and if someone happens to the engine, all you can do is sit back and say bad luck because BMW will never warrant your claim.
