I even remember people saying that the n55 in the M2 was closed deck, which we know to be false.
Closed deck vs. open deck debates can go on all day long. We all know that the s55 can make more power more easily and more reliably, unless you have the hub issue.
We also know that the n55 in the M2 sounds nasty and is no slouch and the power department either. I personally know of a handful of people making over 500 whp easily. And I know of at least two are making over 700 WHP on their n55's. So at this point it really comes down to reliability.

I really doubt bmw would go out of their way to forge the internals of the m2. Especially when power output for non-m n55 motors are the same as the m2.
