I personally don't believe they'll have a PPK for the N20 since the boost is already so high. The N54 had a PPK, and the N55 in the E90 has a PPK, which is safe to say the F30 N55 will have a PPK.

N54 Boost = 7 psi
N55 Boost = 10 psi
N20 Boost = 16 psi
I have had tuned 2-2.3l 4's in my stable for 15 years. 16psi is not high. There is room for an light oem tune netting 20-30hp at the crank. BMW would not make an engine for production so boost stressed stock that did not have room for more.
