I don't know what bmw is doing to upgrade the n55 for the m2, but based on past experience, i definitely wouldnt want one in a track car.
BMW M doesn't put out parts that don't work.
They usually redesign and improve critical components.



The N54 had fuel pump issues.

N54 fuel pumps in the 1M were fine.


The e82 135 had limp mode issues.
The 1M did not.


Whatever issues N55 has they likely will be resolved on the N55T if it's in an M car.


Based on past experiences, if it's a motor in an M car, you will probably want it.

Tell me which M motors are bad ?
