It will be interesting.
I find it hard to believe they wouldn't update some hardware over time. The B58 engine has been out for at least 2 years now, and it's natural for things like fuel injectors, turbos, etc. to get updated by the OEM suppliers over time. It's inevitable that physical improvements and further tuning by BMW will lead to higher HP. Bottom end of motor is likely the same though if I had to guess. Will be interesting to see once more info becomes available.

Well the turbo won't fit on, that is one thing for sure
