They have also made it official that the successor to the Rolls Royce Phantom the RR4 will be using the BMW twin turbo V8 platform to power the huge beast weighing in at over 5,000lbs... Bmw owns RR in case anyone didnt know already..

That motor is going to be ridiculous with a flash or a chip .

Yes it should be just a chip away from major hp. But sometimes, this is easier said than done, have to check all engine internals etc... to determine whether (and by how much) boost can be increased, and ECU are more and more difficult to screw with as well. Some E92 M3 chips cannot be altered. They are locked!!

The TTV8 X6 isn't out yet, for now you can only get it with the S54 inline 6 twin turbo as found in the 135/335/535. Be patient.
