Yeah, you're right, it did. I remember that N/A V8 getting gapped by mapped 335i and ds those things were rapid with a basic map, torque for days.
The B58 is an amazing engine, again, if anything it's too good for what it is, this is a testament to the engineers that build them.
You could argue that this new generation M is the first time that it really is the performance it should be, they didn't hold back with the S58 and went all in. So they should.
That being said, I've seen a mapped 240i almost keep up with a stock G80 M3 Comp... Almost.
That B58 has been giving M owners nightmares for a long time
