N54 is more needy in terms of maintenance and can never compare in terms of reliability.
I did drive first N54 1 series in the states and owned e60 535i, engine definitely is superior to 52 but never my first choice for the daily
I was just curious as to why. An N52 is super boring is all and OP is in an F-gen tuned car with Stage 2+ so imagine downgrading for "reliability". Why not just go to a completely different platform in that case instead of downgrading to an older generation e9x with an n52?
