Pretty sure most people that were here in 2011 have either moved on or don't visit this site anymore.

I for one am glad he did. For years after I bought my 2011 N55 I have heard of N54 superiority. N54 had a 5 year head start on exposure, aftermarket parts and tuning, did they not. I'll am good with a Pure 2, PI, e85, tuned N55. Of course dual Pure 2 N54s are out there, but how many. With stage 3 turbos the gap of ultimate power will be further narrowed between the two. We'll soon see how many of each blow up.

I've had both and the n54 was faster. Both cars being identical, 6AT with identical FBO's, I had to run an E30 Map in my n55 to have the same results as my n54 running an ACN 91/94 tune. Here is my breakdown which is very accurate.
2009 335i n54 sedan Xdrive FBO Mishimoto intercooler vrsf catless downpipes ACN 91/94 tune Best et run on pumped gas was 12.29@113MPH I never ran the E30 Map on my n54 as it wasn't available at the time for me before I sold it. 2011 335i n55 sedan Xdrive FBO wagner evo intercooler vrsf catless downpipe E30 tune Best et run on E85 was 12.22@112MPH If I ran the ACN 91/94 tune on my n55, my best et run was 12.58@109MPH

Newer N55s are faster stock but that's all. Mod-for-mod, every step of the way, the n54 will be pulling further ahead. However, $ for $ might be another story given how maintenance-intensive the n54's tend to be.

Probably because of the tiny n55 stock turbo? |
