Yea but they also listed a m50b28 which doesn't exist,I think they meant m52b28 instead of m50b28. The 2.8 didn't come back until the m52 came. Supposedly when they changed the displacement from 2.3(badged as 325) to 2.8 the new motors stats where so close to the M3's s50b30(US) stats they had to "nerf" it by slapping on an intake that was 50% more restrictive.

[@HarleySLA]

Speaking on the 9:40 ish mark. EGR helps emissions by cooling which reduces NoX gas formation, because NoX cant form below a certain temperature. Also the efficiency gain from leaving exhaust gas in the combustion chamber is because exhaust is inert (it wont react with anything) and basically takes up space without doing anything. So exhaust gas occupies space where fuel/air mixture would normally be. Think of making a mixed drink, with alcohol being the fuel. If you put mixer (exhaust gas) in the cup (combustion chamber) instead of straight alcohol (fuel) you use less alcohol and still fill the cup as intended. With added emissions benefits. Hope that helps, learned about this through reading and college and its simple once you get it but its sort of mind boggling at first 🍻

Dual cams are good because the valve ports gives an overall greater area to open for flow. The area over top of piston is all you have to work with so the 4 valves in a 2x2 layout cover more then 2 larger valves in a line can. Basically it's easier to push or suck air
