That is true, but, the B58 has been around for over a year now. I've only seen like two recalls, for fairly minor parts in manual transmission 340is, and they affected like 20 VIN numbers.

It's just as easy to come up with an anti N55 argument by saying it's now outdated, the b58 aims to solve the cooling problems and provide more power and more tuning potential, and by sticking with the N55 you're seriously limiting yourself in the coming few years. Not that you should sell your car, but as someone who's deciding between a 2016 and a 2017, the B58 seems more attractive to me personally.
