Great question. I am curious as well.

What is it about the *20i N20 that prevents it from being tuned to 294hp just like the *28i N20? If it comes down to something that's reasonably simple to change, then I predict a whole lot of 300hp 120i, 320i, and 520i in the near future.

For that matter, think about the N18B16 engine found in *16i and *18i models. This engine is basically just a longitudinally mounted Mini Cooper S engine. Don't the tuners get over 300hp from that engine too?
