Why so against turbo engines? I've owned 7 BMW's now, and the N54 and N55 engines on the current models are phenomenal. They far surpass the performance of the older NA engines. The bi-turbo design makes turbo lag practically non existent. I get very strong torque with my N55, 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds, and still get the smooth response and highway fuel mileage expected from a 6 cylinder. Plus, tuning turbos is SO much more efficient than trying to tune an NA engine. My last car was a 2009 335i coupe and for about $1800 I added 80 HP to my engine just by using The Dinan stage 2 turbo kit, all through my local BMW dealership preserving my warranty. You can't add that kind of performance to an NA engine for that little money, so I'll take my turbo engine any day...
