Why isn't the E90 sedan on the excluded list? Does that mean that there is a possibility that the N55 will peak its head on the last prod. model E90?

Doesn't seem wise on bmw's part to stuff a brand new engine in the last model year car.

The N54 was bmw's way of testing the market and put them back on the map in the force induction game since being absent for all these years. I think they over engineered the N54 on purpose (aside from the HPFP). I have a feeling the N55 is where they will concentrate more on cost cutting (cheaper to build) and focus on maximizing profits. On paper the N55 doesn't sound like much of an improvement to me.

my 2cents.
