If the N55 is so great why is not been used in the new 1 M Coupe.
BMW knows the potential of the N54 and that's why they are leaving N54 as the higher power option for the best in their class (335is and 1M).

Thats just my opinion
Gotta love when people speak so soon...Here is a quote from shiv.

"Below is a video of a 15psi run. You can watch the boost gauge on the dash (fuel gauge) during the run. It peaks just shy of 15psi in the midrange and falls to 10-11psi up top. Pretty low boost for 360+whp. The n55 is an excellent engine. Better than the n54 in many respects i'd say. And a properly matched FMIC upgrade was worth 20-30whp gains from 4200 to 6500rpm!"
