Since then the thought of a S55 made me wishy-washy, that was the engine that should be in the 1M.

The S55 is the only reason why I got the M2 Comp and I enjoyed every rev, every gear changes from it together with the 6MT.

Bravo M. Repeat with the G87 M2 and I am all in
This , having had 1M too and OG M2 and now M2C, the S55 is the underrated masterpiece vs N54 and definitely vs the relatively low cost engineered N55.

N55 sound is awesome though, but it's not a track/high speed* driving engine vs S55. Tell me about it.

Each to their own and enjoy what you have.
