It's not the first time a motor change has occurred mid production in an M car. The E36 for the US did the same.
.. you mean the change to OBD2 and a more restrictive manifold? I really wouldn't compare the two. Euro S50 maybe..
Perhaps you are also forgetting that the displacement of the US motor also changed from 3.0 to 3.2L

S50B30 to S52B32

Displacement change from 3.0 to 3.2
(New crankshaft and new pistons)
Obd-1 to OBD 2
New Ecu - to Siemens from Bosch
Intake Manifold changed
Single vanos to Double vanos
Inlet valves changed
New dual mass flywheel

Just a few changes ..
