Oasis....I think what BMWzone was saying is that it is well known here that the N54 really makes more than 300hp even in stock trim. Meaning that BMW purposely underrated the N54 engine. Believe he is speculating that the N55 may be rated at an actual 300hp, thus potentially a lower hp engine than the N54. However, until we get an N54 and an N55 on an independent dyno, this is all just lunchtime conjecture.
