That's neat tech but BMW essentially matches this engine's specs with N57S five years ago and without the electric turbo.
My bet is that BMW will follow up the N57S soon with a 400-425hp B57. Possibly we'll see that for the G11 LCI.

Audi will also have 'e-boosted' engine, which uses a electric motor on the "small" turbo" on their: 3.0-liter V-6 TDI, 385 Hp & 553 ft/lbs, 44 mpg and 0-60mph in 4 secs!! And that is in a RS5.
Audi will probably first put this engine in the new Q7, though.
