My understanding was that the S55 was beefed up in many ways...there's a list on the M3/4 forum somewhere...

Tuned M235 =/= M2. In the same way a tuned 335i =/= M3. Any further questions? |

Wish they just put the s55 motor and detuned it a bit.
Or make it an updated n54 twin turbo over the single 55. Granted from a suspension handling point it should be superior but if they are just beefing up the suspension steering brakes and chassis and popping a OEM JB tune on the n55 that's a bit disappointing |

My problem is the M car (I know they used the N54 in the 1M, but I'm sure that was due to the low volume build) should have a bespoke engine. That's what I'm looking for when paying this kind of money. Make sense?

I for one, am absolutely THRILLED they're using the N55. It's solid. All the kinks have been worked out. There is a lot of power left on the table. It sounds fantastic! It remains to be seen if it will be single or twin turbo.
And the obvious question, why not a de-tuned S55? |

Next steps are:
1) Greenlight the 2-series Gran Coupe (but for the love of god, DON'T make it a hatch!) 2) Greenlight the M2 Gran Coupe

As someone who has had an N54, N55 and the 326 BHP in the N55, I would love it if they used some version of the N54...I know they won't, but my god did that motor pull hard...

Basically the same recipe as the 1M. Honestly think the N55 in stock form has better response than the N54. So a tuned N55 should be perfect, combined with some weight loss.
If gets a widebody, carbon roof, carbon driveshaft, DCT option, and the typical M mechanical bits. This thing will be and instant classic. |

S55 in this car would of killed the M3/M4 sales. The N55 is a good platform especially with the drivetrain this car will have.

Agreed. The N54 doesn't have stupid valvetronic which complicates tuning and the N54 has proven a superior powerhouse for tuning.
