Wut.

That's it, I'm done with the internet for today.
well it's true, man! the Z4 had the same exact engine as the 1M....and the S55 has identical block specs as the N55, albeit modified in other ways (turbos, bore, etc and more)

I've been over zealous to say it's the same engine with turbos, however there is no denying that the S55 wasn't made from the N55 basis....

read here where it says "derived from the N55"
