No they won't. Firstly, they would have already. Secondly, their marketing policy about that looks a kind of clear.

There's another point, by the way: AFAIK, our N13 engine is rooted in the Prince engine project BMW had in common with PSA. Peugeots and Citroens (and Mini too?) had huge troubles with the more powerful versions of the engine. It made me doubt considering the current 1 series, back then. Even though it can be irrelevant already (improvements made, "quite different"(?) etc.) tuning above 118i might imply some additional risk.
