As for underrating, Dinan measured both cars and got the S55 engine is way underrated, where the N55 isn't so much.

N55 = measured = 360hp/404 lbs ft
S55 comp = measured = 507hp/463 lbs ft
S55 non comp = measured = 484hp/446 lbs ft

Very interesting. Do you have a link to the source of this info?

The S55 impresses me more and more every time I drive my car. It's just a fantastic machine. I'm glad I gave the M4 another chance after my first initial test drive with a DCT that didn't impress me. The six speed version made all the difference to me, so I'm glad I gave the car another chance and bought one!

Dont worry a non comp S55 would still walk all over the M2

So the car with more power, more torque, and only a 90lb handicap was faster in a straight line? No surprise here, this isn't what the M2 was made for. It barely beats a M240i in the 1/4. It's not a drag car.

Neither is any BMW.

Which only adds to the silliness.

Guess the spirit here is to find out the difference, the delta so to speak in outright acceleration between the two M brothers. Whether they are drag cars or not is totally irrelevant.

That's true. I think the comments skewed the actual reason behind the video.

My business partner has an M2 that has a stage 4 Dinan and MPE and I have an M3 stage 3 Dinan also with an MPE and I pull on him all day.... our numbers should be about the same since he has the upgraded turbos. I feel his can sounds way better it's a more deeper sound in my opinion.

I ran a m2 in my jb4 f80 on map 2 and it was a massacre 60-120, at least 6-7 cars. That being said my dinan tuned m2 doesn’t feel that much slower than my m3 even though it is.
