I didn't read the article but this is all relative and were talking about Motor Trend which to me is the least qualified of all the US car rags. The N55 is heavier than the outgoing N52 due to the turbo package and different materials but most of the engine is still behind the front axle. It's just not as ideal as the lighter and shorter F20
