It's weird, I don't feel like I said the N55 wasn't capable. There's one in my wife's car. It's just nothing like what I want out of an actual M motor. And it's an M car, a little bit more maintenance (see S54's shimmed valves) is fine with me.
If this were about fun, not money, I'd much prefer a 3,100 pound M2 with 340 hp to a 3,400 pound one with 380 hp, even though they'd both have roughly the same power to weight.
What's the point of an M2 if it's just an M235i with less of a tune than the aftermarket will already provide and some optional $8k ceramic brakes?
