You can't get something for nothing. As the engine RPM rises so too does boost pressure and at some point the two cannot keep rising. BMW can try what they want but unless it is a F1 car I don't see them getting this right. On top of this the HPFP debacle will continue to rear its ugly head, that disaster is not done yet.
The NA car just keeps pulling and pulling beyond the rev limiter if you want. I'd be shocked if any turbo car could do the same. Sooner or later the boost will be bypassed and the car will wheez out.
I'm with Tbone, the end of M is near.
I am planning on going to Austria for the X5M/X6M event so we'll see how close they got the engine right.
