I have friends who own and work at shops. The N55 is "hell". The S65 is easier to work on but nowhere near as simple to service as the S54.
What's so hellish about the n55 (not that it was ever found in a M car btw)? The motor is still relatively new so I can't see that many failures so early in its life cycle. We are talking about stock cars that don't have aggressive maps correct?
