As funny as that is..... there is a HIGH degree of truth to that
Stock X5M competition: 625 hp
Stock X5M50i: 530 hp
Stock X5M Comp w/ tune: 700 hp
Stock X5M50i w/ tune: 700 hp
While I'm sure the X5M guys will tell you about every single internal engine component that differs between the two engines (and there are a few, admittedly), they are essentially very similar to one another. The X5M50i is just heavily "detuned" from the factory.
