Quote "Our quarter-mile time of 14.1 seconds was identical, and in fact the trap speed was up from 100.6 mph to 101.0. The 60-mph-dash was a tenth slower at 5.6 seconds, while times to the higher speeds were improved (21.6 seconds to 120 mph beats the twin-turbo featherweight by six-tenths). That's impressive, especially if the fuel economy ends up equal or better."

+1! Half of these people don't have a clue of what they are talking about. The fact that the N55 is setting the standard for the next generation M3 speaks for itself. It will all be evident in due time. No point in arguing now, and there is a reason for which BMW has manufactured the N55 in replacement to the N54
