Significantly stronger than the N55? YES. Than the N54? Not a chance! Like OP stated, our stock block is currently holding daily driven 770whp. Call me when we see this with the S55. Oh, and how bout them S55 rods? Don't think those are as re-enforced as the N54
I don't know. Your experience definitely counts for something, so I am not trying to negate that in any way. But don't you think we should wait to get some more data/history on the new M3/M4 before we start writing it off compared to previous BMW products?
