That's weird, since the dyno's of stock N54's vs N55's tell a different story. I know an N54 is easier to tune (possibly due to the fact it's been around longer and it has two turbos) thus would theoretically make more power easier than an N55 would. |
What's weird? The N54 making more power, or the N55 making just as much? He truly admitted that the N54 was capable of more but the switch was for fuel economy. Then stated the N55 was able now to make as much as the N54. (Probably after the tu that happened to get the new PPK to 335hp) This was a true German engineer who you could tell English was not his first language that they flew in for the 4 series release. I even asked him in September of last year what engine would be in the new M3/4, and he just smiled at me..
