Every dyno test I have seen of the N55 shows it putting out notably more HP at the rear wheels than you would expect from an engine rated at 300 HP. As for the B58, while I have no specific info, since we are talking about essentially the same displacement (even though this engine will be a member of the new 500cc/cylinder architecture), I would be surprised if they advertise it with a more than, say 25 HP increase. Actual HP will likely be above that, but I think that beyond a "common architecture' BMW's main goal with this engine and the B48, will be increased efficiency. Fed mileage requirements are going up next year, and squeezing a few more mpg out of all their cars will be a prime goal for every manufacturer.

When do we expect BMW to officially reveal the LCI? It seems it would have to be pretty soon. Do they schedule a press conference, or just a blanket media release? I'm waiting to evaluate this before purchasing (if I'm underwhelmed, I suppose I can use it as leverage on a better deal for a used 14 or new 15).

Someone could look up when the E90 LCI was unveiled vs when it started hitting dealer lots. |

That is more inline with the c400 which is rated 329/354 than the c450 which is rated at 362/384. And that does not account for mb underrating their motors at all. My point was if bmw wants to hang with the c450 powerwise they will need to offer an mppk |

I saw the 2016 production schedule at a dealer today. 2016 435i coupe/convertible production will last for 8 months and end in 2016/02, which means they could start 440i production as early as 2016/03.
