It is a all new block and that is also visible from the photos. However if that means a new bore spacing and 89,6mm bore is a different matter. But according to Biermann the engine shares nothing apart from some ancilliaries with the N55, so who knows?

BTW did you find the info on 80% unique components on the E9x M3 that we discussed on the other thread?
