That said, not having to deal with high pressure fuel pump issues and the aforementioned gas mileage gains are a plus from a convenience perspective. Just wish the car pulled harder up top, at least as much so as the N54, which I even felt fell flat on its face up top.
I hope you are at least a tuner to be so sure about your comment, but I give you full benefit of doubt....
On the other hand, not having to worry about your engine to fail is not convenience,it is reliability and these things all Matter for a stock engine. Power is not the only thing you expect from a 50-60k car. I don't drive a car to race every day, though, some kids might...
