It's funny reading the N55 bashing though. We just went through this (and continue to go through it) with the S65 fanboys vehemently against the S55.

I for one was not "bashing" the N55. I observe that the M division using an aging engine from the standard BMW lineup is not a typical move; ironically the N54 in 1M was one of only two other times they've ever done it that I know about.
And, given that they will have the B58 available to them at the time this car releases, which will provide the same power and better fuel economy...using the N55 doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. It is a great motor, for sure, and at 375hp it would definitely be powerful enough.
