You're correct... but the N55 is basically (in simple terms, I know there are specific differences) a single turbo version of the N54, making the M3/4 motors like the N54. I personally love the N54 motor and am confident that the M3/4 motor is going to be amazing.

My problem is the M car (I know they used the N54 in the 1M, but I'm sure that was due to the low volume build) should have a bespoke engine. That's what I'm looking for when paying this kind of money. Make sense?
