The M2 variant is 375hp and 384 lb-ft of torque (and 398 lb-ft with electrical help – enhance)
Means a lack of 7hp, however a acquire of 15 lb-ft (29 lb-ft with enhance) of torque.
So kinda a wash, assuming no O2 excessive TU2 pops out of nowhere and surprises everybody with precise will increase. 0-60 may see a .1-.3 second distinction from the elevated torque (possibly).
Personally, Id have to see the reliability of the TU2. Yeah its received port injection now along with direct, however that comes at a value of elevated complexity, and this twin system is new in BMW engine design. The B58 (the TU particularly) is popping out to be some of the dependable engines BMW has ever made. The TU2s new injection system may change that.
Assuming no O2 and it certainly finally ends up being the M2, Im simply wonderful with my B58TUO1 with MH on my 23. Everyone seems to be chomping on the bit for port injection, however that’s actually solely noticeable if you happen to plan on modding it extensively. For us common people, the distinction is fairly minimal.
