Well I've chat-ed with someone who dyno-ed that M3 and it turned out to have more than just 192 hp (kind of like with the 335i).
But various conditions and/or marketing can influence figures.

Just like the 1.9 TDI at VW...

My 101hp diesel is said to have 117hp in reality, I've read somewhere this generation TDIs always had 10/20hp more than said by VW...

It's unlikely to be a twin-turbo engine. Twin scroll on a four cylinder petrol engine is much more viable.

Are you sure about "twin scroll" solution being used in B44 engine?
"Twin scroll" is a solution used in PSA / Mini 1.6L turbo engine.
BMW Advanced Turbo.
