Are you saying testing hasn't been done on the S55 engine? I believe BMW has intentions of racing with their current M engines as well, seeing as there are examples of turbos in GT racing it's a very real possibility we see an S55 derived racing engine. Since all forseeable future engines V8 and below are going to be turbocharged for the road going version, they will need to start testing how they want to race derive these engines anyway.
Given the presence of endurance races in many of the major touring leagues, there's no chance they will unless they leave all of GT racing which won't happen.
