S65 honestly lol
I love that sound and feel of that engine. It'd probably feel like a dog compared to the S55 but man oh man. Cool factor would definitely be up there. |

Your anecdotes just aren't met with complete agreement- don't take it so personally, in fact I've had the exact opposite experience. My N55 has shown no issues with moderate/heavy track use over a dozen or so events last year, be it Gingerman, Mid Ohio, Road Atlanta, etc. It's been reliable at all of them. Hell I even did Gingerman on stock pads and fluid and only had fade after 4-5 runs. I must be clueless though so I'll defer to you since you sound like you have much more track experience; what codes did you throw on your track days? Are you on a stock tune? How many runs did you have prior to the codes? Did you go into limp mode or was it just a passive warning?

Lots of you only care about power. I think bmw goes the wrong route always making cars bigger and heavier and put more power in to compensate. They get more boring to drive when a new heavier one comes out.
I had more fun in my 1M Coupe then both my m2 and m2c. Yes the m2 is faster but i had so much more fun in driving the old skool 1m coupe! Also my non M 130i hatch with lsd is more fun to drive then my 1635kg m2. I wish i could buy a new 1m coupe off factory. Smaller, nimbler an lighter that should be the things where bmw m must concentrate on. And stop the horsepower wars. If you don t like cornering you could always take the train! |

After arriving home, yes max 80km/h, hooked it up to bimmerlink. Cleared codes. Read through all relevant posts here. Ordered Wagner comp intercooler, charge pipes and turbosmart pb diverter. Changed over weekend with friend. Ever since no issue. I have suspicion of boost leakage somewhere, what I found out is that the slight swoosh sound after let off gas i had since new was gone. Still love my car and think N55 is great for commuting and "hooning" aswell. Not selling any time soon. Btw its not an engine what makes an M car. Its the complete package. So I would love our cars to be lighter 200kg with all the ammenities 😉. |

I would gladly take an LS or LT V8, and compensate with 305 rear section rubber. And current gen Coyote would sound even better, but probably wouldn't package as well.
