They share the same crank, main bearings and pistons (with the piston rings modified to be used with cast iron sleeves as opposed to wire arc sleeves from the S55). The connecting rods on the S55 are different.

It is debatable that the N55 in the M2 has a closed-deck block. From the looks of it, it's just a standard N55 open-deck and until this has been confirmed through a tear-down, it is a N55 open-deck block IMHO. The S55 is a closed deck block.

So, no. They don't share the same bottom end.
