I continue to scratch my head about this N54 "power". The 2014+ EWG N55 in the M235 makes around 310whp/330wtq stock and the M2 N55 makes around 330whp/370wtq (Dynojet numbers). Even better, the power peaks at 6200rpms and holds 90%+ of that power to 6700rpms. Show me a stock N54 that makes that sort of power or doesn't lose a ton power after 5500rpms. In tuned form (pump gas or ethanol) and assuming you don't swap out turbos, the EWG N55s tends to make a little more HP, more TQ, and it's power band is wider. In general, making for a quicker and faster car.
