There IS lots of room there for improvement. Take a look at the torque curve. BMW have quite clearly restricted the amount of power from the new V8 engine, already preparing for either/or the CSL and any future developments. The this engine is at the very beginning of it's life cycle.

Also, the V8 produces 414bhp on paper. I suspect it will produce more when dyno'd.
