Car and driver compared both and found almost no difference but 0-60 slightly better on N55. This wasn't our N54 but they preferred N55. I have driven 2011 335i 6mt and with N55 and throttle response seems more immediate but the surge from 1M N54 stronger. We need to face the fact that the cars are getting faster and pretty soon the N55 will be a better motor than ours but as long as any college girl can buy an automatic
135iM it will not be as cool as the harder edged 1M IMO.
