I really don't know about all that. I have three friends that each own a pre-LCI E82 135i. I've had plenty of wheel time behind an N54, and they've all had lots of time behind the wheel of my car. All four of us agree that the throttle response is nowhere near as close on the N54 as it is on a good N/A engine.
