N54 to N55 was probably the engine upgrade Fleet was talking about. Also, the N52 didn't get a slight HP boost with the LCI? For some reason I thought I did, but it's been a long time. The LCI definitely improved the look of the E90, and the iDrive was much improved, if I recall correctly.

The N52 stayed at 230 HP and 200 Lb/Ft for the entire E90 run.

No it didn't. The E90 started with the 325 and 330 rated at 215 and 255 hp respectively and then were bumped up to the 328 and 335 rated at 230 and 300 hp respectively
