Ultimately it is her car but I driving it as well and to her it won't matter but for my own selfishness I would rather enjoy the newest and best engine.

I wouldn't tune it by the way which could be arguement for the older engine given its more known for tuners.

Anyone else hesitate because of this?

The WORST historically in any car brand history was the poor guys who bought a 2006 e90 330i, first generation and within 7 months found out the 335 was replacing it with an engine with 75 more horsepower!
Not correct. The 330i had 255bhp compared to 300 for the N54. Also, it was one of the smoothest BMW inline sixes, and universally praised for that.
