I'm not sure what you mean by "smoke" but there are positives and negatives to both types of engines.

For example, my old 135 with the JB3 was much faster in a straight line than my dad's 07 M Coupe....but it could not hold a candle to the way the ///M felt, sounded, handled, etc...and the engine in the ///M is NA....

The 23i engine has been configured for more or less BHP, depending on what BMW has wanted to accomplish...if I recall correctly, it is capable of more grunt....

Just something to think about...
