You are correct in that the N54/N55 is the same thing. We have tuned the N54 for years, but the N55 is the same deal with regards to on bench ECU.

The spare ECU thing doesn't really work as the requirements to get it working with your specific vehicle are ridiculous and not something you would undertake lightly.
Does Evolve offer a handheld programmer for LCI 335d's in Europe? I was of the belief it had less to do with US vs Europe and more to do with pre lci vs LCI and that all LCI cars have the new DME. There has only been an LCI version offered in the US unlike Europe. This also seems to be supported by the lack of handheld programmers for the N55.
