So far, every *single* one of BMW's turbo powerplants has been significantly underrated versus what chassis dynos show the engine to actually be producing. While I'm not saying I expect the S55 to be the same, I certainly wouldn't be shocked to see it putting down somewhere around 400 whp stock, which is well above 425 hp at the crank.
