I don't wanna go on about this for days but this explains the TwinPower vs Twin-Turbo confusion, using the N55 and N54 as an example:

BMW’s TwinPower Turbo Technology is substantially different from the outgoing N54′s twin-turbo powered setup. With Twin-Turbo, two small turbochargers are used to increase the engine’s output, both spooling up at the same time as RPMs grow. With BMW’s new TwinPower technology, the N55 actually features only a single turbocharger instead of two working in concert.

The single turbocharger of TwinPower design is what is known as a twin-scroll turbocharger. It is an attempt to combine the advantages of using two small turbochargers and the singular housing design of a single turbocharger setup. With the twin-scroll design of the N55, BMW claims an advantage in both torque and the RPMs at which maximal performance arrives combined with an increase in fuel efficiency.

Thanks for the clarification, because a BMW mechanic explained it too me and the he spoke of it it sounded like it twin turbo, but someone else explained that the twin spooling works similar to that on Porsche design turbos
