Yup and the N54. Definitely prefered the N54. Both were considered before I went 128i. Money wasn't the issue(as it should be apparent based on the mod list), I just don't like the throttle response, power curve, reliability, heat, weight, and all the other assorted fun that comes with a turbo engine.
Also pretty clear which one BMW prefers for more serious application seeing as it wound up in the 1M.
