I'm reading and learning that the N55 won't be nearly as tuner friendly, which sucks.
And unlike the N54 that gets 70+ hp from a tune only, it will be lucky to get half that amount on the N55 from tune only.
That really sucks for the mod crazed enthusiasts that have made the N54 powered cars such a big success over the past 3 years.
But clearly BMW has to protect the upcoming TT 6 in the 2013 M3
(which will probably be a 3.3 liter TT V6, or essentially their current 4.4 TT V8 with 2 cylinders lopped off).
However, I would of hoped for a 3.3-3.4 liter I6 with TT's making 420+ hp rather than the 3.3 V6 which will probably be 405-410 hp (though it should be faster than current 414 hp 4.0 V8 M3 since the new car should weigh 100 lbs less, and have 50-60 lbs feet of torque more as well).
