In my view, the N55 is a bit more refined than the N54. I've had three BMWs with the N54 and two with the N55. The N55 seems to be a bit smoother than the N55. The N54 feels like it has more mid range torque.
For example, with a manual tranny, punching the N54 at 70 mph in 6th gear gives you a healthy shove in the back. The N55, less so. However, with that said, I found zero performance difference on the track. I pulled nearly the exact same track lap times with both engines.
In my latest vehicle ('14 235i) I can assure you that there is nothing boring about the N55 or the car. Both are fabulous.
