N51 SULEV v N52

This is from the Bimmerforums:

"The N51 has a different cylinderhead with lower compression, a plastic cylinderhead cover with a different crankcase ventalation valve, a DISA intake manifold, and different cats. The performance should be nearly identical."

I cannot confirm this but I also heard the DME is de-tuned compared to the N52's.
