EDIT: Most of the press seems to refer to the M850 engine as a "new" engine, but it is unclear what is new.
Yeah, I hear you. I leased a 2014 LCI 550i which had a bump from 414hp to 445 -- test drove both back to back and it was a noticeable improvement. I know going from 456 in the 2017-19 to 520 (rumored) is going to be noticeable. Can I get a tune instead? Yeah, of course.
