But never mind - the point is that, by that time, BMW will be moving away from the N55 in nearly every other application. I have no inside information, but it seems odd to me that they would use it for an M car at that point in its lifecycle.

Having said that, I have an N55 in my F10 and I think it is wonderful.
BMW did the same thing with the N54 in the 1M, 335is, and Z4 whatever they called it, so why doesn't it make sense????
