2) Higher compression ratio means greater timing pull at high PSI and thus less efficient power and less tuneability. Well, it didn’t happen - B58 works just as fine at 15psi as N55.

3) Longer stroke means less free revving. Well, it didn’t happen, B58 rev all the way up to 7K rpm, nothing less than N55.

I would like to thank you for using RON99 so the N55 torque didn’t fall on your graph as much as we saw it does elsewhere.

Now you better tell me the 2 dyno weren't performed the same day please
They were performed on different days.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the figures. The M2 is more than its engine.
