It'll be interesting to see what they put in the M2.
If we really want to be pedantic about it, where did the N55 come from?

come on, man! you've gotta get your story straight
For my interests and application, NA is definitely best. Not sure why you think the engine with more lag is more NA like.

The S55 N54 comment was in reference to the twin turbo setup, which is almost always more exploitable for power.
it doesn't have more lag....no evidence anywhere to support that! I've driven all 3 engines in several different cars now and I like the n55 best....it acts less like a turbo engine and has a more dynamic range all around IMO. very very smooth. Have you driven an n55?
