The N54 vs N55 stuff is ridiculous. They're very extremely similar engines. The N54 had some better internal components, but in stock trim, I'd challenge anyone to tell them apart in a blind test.

None of this has anything to do with the engine that will be delivered in the M2, because BMW has the resources required to tune the engine to whatever characteristics they like.
Those dyno actually show the exact opposite of what he said. Lol.
