F10 engine in the 7 Series?

I was completely unaware that BMW was going to introduce the 7 series in the U.S. market with the inline 6, untill I saw a review in one of the car magazines recently. (called the 740i) Although it looks as if it will use the same engine as in our new F10, the Seven's engine is rated at 315 horsepower. It states using the twin power turbo.....possibly the same engine, but with slightly more boost? Just currious if anyone had heard any details and wonder if they will eventually do the same thing for the 6 series.

Its not the n55 engine, they are using the older N54 twin turbo engine in the 740i along with the 6 speed auto transmission.

FYI re "going to introduce..." If i understand your post, the new 740i has already been on dealer lots for a few months.
