We shall see. I'll be happy if they make it work. I'm a big fan of the n55 as it is. Apparently, so is the ///M division with this news, and with the use of the s55 in the upcoming f80/82.
The 1M Coupé made sense too, and this round they've got more development time. Wasn't the N55 already out when the 1M with the N54 came to the market?!

But look at it like that the N55, thanks to the experience with it is more reliable and it requires time to optimize it for this stage of development.

I'm still waiting for some spy shots with a peek under the bonnet or something like that, because I don't wanna celebrate too soon but it's definitely a good sign (for me).
