I made a few edits above. Not bashing the N20 AT ALL, great engine and super efficient and all that you mentioned You just get a little something extra with the N55 that some of us are willing to pay for Oh and the sound of the inline 6

It's probably mostly that I came from the N54 equipped E92 and I really noticed the lag in the 328. Where if you came from a previous gen 328 before you would be overwhelmed by the power the N20 provides!
