No, but it will be a step closer to the M3, specially for the smaller 135i.

I'm guessing the guys at Vishnu have little to worry about, if BMW-typical price-gouging is in effect here.

BMW need to add some more torque to the M3....although it's not all about 0-60, but 400nm torque for M3 is still a little weak. Interesting to see how much BMW want to charge for this 'Performance Power Kit' which doesn't give much of a power boost. It could totally be just a normal power update for newer 335/135 models, but this is how business works and make profit. Well, at least both 135/335/M3 are great cars.

Stock N54 engines are already making more than 326hp and 450Nm. Other than the refrigeration improvements, I do not see any advantage from this Power Kit.

With this kit it will make 20 MORE HP. So now its somewhere like 340-350 HP. These improvements do make the car "faster", but the sacrifice is in the tq curve, which becomes more of a peak and less of a plateau.

So that's their answer to Audi S4. Interesting to see how the upgraded twin turbo straight 6 can stack with the supercharged V6.
