Basically guys, us N54 owners are getting a free upgrade. We have a detuned version of the 335is, while new buyers need to purchase the 335is to get our engine. The N55 is nice and an improvement stock, true but it is nowhere near as cool sounding as a "Direct Injection Twin-Turbo Inline Six."

Most of us are already making more than 335is #'s in power for a couple hundred bucks, so what's your point BMW? Are you trying to fool those unaware of the N54's capabilities?

In all seriousness though, I am sure the N55 will have one very important, critical improvement: reliability.

If it isn't better in reliability, then BMW either wanted to cut costs with a simpler engine or wasted their time (and our time) making a new engine.

Time will tell.
