The fact is, I, from the beginning, knew a N55 is a phenomenal engine , I have it in my current 535i. And I know the N54 as well. Superb.
And if you literally cut off 2 cylinders you get the N20 more or less. N55's smaller brother so to say.(but very very good , don't get me wrong!)
Then I read this post:
I can only agree with you. Fwiw.

You are right. The N55 is going to be solid. It has been around for a while now without major issues and there is really no question in reliability. As the N52 was the silky smooth bread and butter engine, the N55 has taken its place (even though it is more powerful).
I haven't test driven the N20, but it sounds like an awesome engine. I probably could have bought it and been just as happy, but I have been waiting for the N55. For the past couple of years I have been saying that once the N55 is in the new body style I am there...And now here I am
