Presenting a counter-argument is pointless because you're not looking at this objectively;
None of us are. We all have biases such as preference for throttle response, torque, sound, fuel efficiency, tuneability etc.

you're simply here to incite.
Absolutely not true. Does some emotion come into many folks posts occasionally? Heck yes, these are cars of PASSION not utility.

You make claims that are false, and you're unwilling to listen to reason.
I'm not aware of making false claims with any intent to deceive, though I concede that my description of the new engine as "an N55 with stickers and a tune" as being factually inaccurate though not meant literally.

The point was that I really don't care if it's exactly an n55 with a tune; effectively it's the same - a 3L turbo motor that just like the N54/N55 runs out of steam before 6k rpm but does make nominally more hp nearly to redline in the 7k range, sounds muted and suffers from significant lag. Freespool turbo for 7 seconds, oversquare bore/stroke, better block and cooling ... all good stuff but doesn't change my description.
