Shit...does this make my baby obsolete...?

In fact...I think its good news. I was expecting more, but I think the single turbo technology is used for cost reasons. Its true, Valvetronic helps countering the turbo-lag effect, thus letting them get away with single turbo design. But I am not sure that this can be perfectly done.
The power and torque has not changed, the consumption is 8.9l/100km as opposed to 9.1l/100km in 335i, the CO2 is 209g/km as opposed to 218 for 335i. Not much of an improvement. The 1200RPM max torque as opposed to 1300 is not enough to drool over it.

And I hope the BMW Performance Power Kit will only be available for N54
