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.

M has never offered a turbo engine until the current crop, so I have no idea what you are talking about. There has NEVER been a turbo based M production car until the fake trucks, and the upcoming M5 and M6. The N54 wasnt developed by M, nor was the N63. M modified the N63 buillt by BMW, with the manifold (etc) and it has become known as the S63 first in the trucks, and the S63Tu (adding vanos) with the M5/M6. They have ZERO production experience with turbos until these offerings, meaning they are their beta products that we all have to live with and the growing pains surely to follow.
