Why do you feel that the S55 won't be able to breathe at high speeds? There is no technical reason why an FI motor cannot hold power output right up to redline. The N54 behaves as it does because of design decisions that were made to appeal to a specific target market. The M cars have always focused on the higher end of the RPM spectrum. There is no reason why this motor HAS to be any different.
