What are you talking about? M had built turbos for years as has BMW MotorSport they had 1500 HP F1 Turbos. M and BMW designed the block and reverse flow concept- M is used early on in design as an engineering base to help the transition to M cars be easier. This began with the E9X and increased with F10. Moving forward it will be even more. M is not just a tuner- the adaptive suspension in all current BMWs was developed by them.

There first offering was the N54 which they helped with, then the N63/S63 and then there is N55 and this monster. These guys over engineer everything.
