Got to check the exact price, but from recollection, for the price of one set of N54 mids you can buy 4 or 5 sets of N55 mids. The reason: secondary cats ain't cheap. Don't castrate those dangly bits. Save yourself the hassle, install N55 mids (moreover it's an OEM BMW part) and keep the stock N54 mids for future re-installation purposes (you might be required to re-install N54 mids on resale day - buying those will hurt your wallet). N55 mids are also cheaper than Maddad mids.
TRACKING ... I have to look in to the price on the N55 Mids; I made a premature statement based on the idea that everything BMW sells is expensive as hell. I'm getting ready to put Cat-less DP's on, and I'm currently rocking the Berk Race axle back (which I hate); so I'm thinking about doing a custom MP or the N55 mid if the price is reasonable.
