Tha N52 was rated at 230hp? The n20 is at 245 and underrated.
part of the 0-63 figures I suspect are using launch which eliminated the lag factor, or if not, the a turbo could win the 0-63 but lose a distance race due to the back-loaded velocity curve (for turbos to load)
Just as BMW goosed the N20 to 245hp, if they would have given you the N52@258hp or 272 .. do you not think you would be a happier man?
It's just cuz they detuned the crap out of the N52 and now they do the opposite with the intrinsically inferior N20 so you feel its a lot better, they just did it to make more money.
