That being said, there are some reviews on here that compare the N55 to the N54 by owners who traded to the new 335i. One said it was less laggy and felt faster, the other said it had more lag and wasn't as explosive as the N54... That leads me to believe they are pretty much even

brey - i like ur rationale here u make a good point ... there are plenty of discrepancies btw the handful of reviews here

leads me to believe that if there are any differences w the n55 they are negligible and may be overcome by better response or more torque in a different section of the curve, etc.

i really wanna drive one, just hate goin to the dealer without a reason
