The n54 has oil starvation issues, as well as cooling issues, as well as many other issues.
The S65 is the only 'real' choice for a track car. For all of the reasons said above by other people. Looking back I should have just bought an m3 and supercharged it.

N52 is not slow. It depends on how you look at it. I am faster on track than some vehicles that have 30-40hp more, but they are not having as efficient transfer of power, do not handle well etc.
Three-stage intake and AutoWerke flash can get you N52to some 260-270hp on the crank. Some more serious modifications, like modifying N54 intake, MILV's, headers can get you probably close to 300hp on the crank. Boca has approx. 260WHP on his vehicle.
Yes, M3 is track option, but rod bearings?
