07' N54 vs 15 ' N55

My N54 was a MT were my N55 is AT.

I just loved the N54 but I do think that the 8-speed transmission is the clear winner here. Shifting so fast the ZF really makes the car feel so much faster.
.
So I do think the N54 is more tuner friendly but for stock -- I prefer my N55 ZF setup.
.
Not to mention the rush to market design failures of the N54 (early 07' Model).

N54<N55<B58*

* If the cooling management design proves reliable.
