YOu are so wrong in your assesment of how a car producess power, any car be it N/A or turbo has to build up to a peak to get its top power, have you ever even seen a print out from a dyno run from a car? in fact you will find that a N/A car will be peakeir than a turbo car and will need to be kept on the boil to be able to extract all the power, and bhp only gives you the top speed of a car versus the drag of the body, torque is a turning force and terefore gives you accleration, by definition bhp is only torque at a given rpm, no car produces anything like its max at tick over rpm!
Therefore if we take a N/A car like lets say a 106 Rallye which has 103 bhp from a 1.3L engine produces 85lbs/torque @ 7400rpm whereas a Cinq with hi-boost like mine gives 104bhp and 109lbs/torque at only 5500rpm, ok there is a slight weight advantage to the Cinq but after having both the Cinq is faster by far although the 106's chassis is so far supperior its untrue and would run rings round a Cinq (this is both with standard suspension)
And as for BMW using N/A engines rumour has it the next M3 will be a twin turbo 3L with over 350bhp or something, not even a BMW motorsport N/A engine can do that and be realiable and cheap enough to produce!
Even VW have turned to Turbo power only on the new GTi to give it a chance.
