No granted I know that was an issue, but If I remember correctly the head of the M division was interviewed about the M2 and stated that with wanting to improve the M2C they wanted to give it the proper M engine as well so they killed two birds with one stone. |
Spot on.....aside from BMW throwing a bigger turbo to get more power(not fuel efficient/would def. not meet emmission ), the N55 was done.
So it was easiest for them to just throw the s55 in there and call it a day.
