Lots of people were really upset when the 1m debuted with the n54 instead of an 'M Motor'. It is no surprise to me the M2 will come with a tuned n55.

It was always my sense, though, that the N54 was a tuneable beast and BMW knew it, perfect for those applications. I feel less like that about the N55. But, as you say, BMW has done something like this before and they are changing a lot of things these days.
And again, I have no personal qualm with the N55; I think it's a great motor. But apparently the B58 is going to have 375HP as well...I wonder why not just use that? More of a curiosity than an argument position. |
Where have you got the info on the B58 from please?
