My other point was that the S55 isn't just a worked over N55. The S55, like the S54, also has a different block, cyl head, crank, con rods etc 
The M235i, on the other hand, has a mildly worked over N55 |
Yeah, agreed on the S55. Which makes me wonder what they're going to do on the M2-- need to somehow have something half way between the two :roll eyes:
Not that it matters to me, really-- never, ever, will I buy a turbo sports car. I don't want torque, don't want lag, and don't want the associated reliability. |
M2 is going to be interesting. On such a relatively small and light car a NA engine should have been feasible, even with Euro CO2 emission limits...
What Ford has done with the Mustang GT350 is just awesome!!! Flat plane crank NA 5.2l V8!!!!!!!
