The B58 looks to be an overall superior motor. But does it share the S55 internals like the M2 N55 does?

I think the touted shared internals are like the bolts for the valve cover...and that pretty much as far it goes (said tongue in cheek). There was a M2 vs M240i video floating around about a year ago and the M240 roasted the M2 up to about 90 MPH. I love the look of the M2 overall but that ruined it for me. Even a tuned M240i X-Drive Convertible would walk a M2, but that's not really the point of the M2. Not talking down the M2, so much as praising how good the M240i is for what it is. Pretty Impressive! Obviously, the M2 overall is going to be the better car.
