Hmmmmm, before buying that new car, lets wait to see if a newer engine comes out, even though the car will now be older and closer to LCI or evolution. Very sensible logic

I wouldn’t expect the “new” motor to have a huge power bump, they don’t want to take away from the M3/4
I would expect them to release an engine with a modest power increase while maintaining or slightly improving MPG. Whichever you get, N55 or new, will still be a great engine! It’s a BMW!!! Also, keep in mind new motors are prone to issues (HPFP) My .02

http://media.caranddriver.com/files/...330i-specs.pdf http://media.caranddriver.com/files/...edan-specs.pdf With respect to people being pissed back then - well, I don't think so - just go check the E90 post site and see the link to 330i owners - in fact, as I mentioned, I was one of those and loved the car. Don't get me wrong - I today also have a G37s, but just wanted to make sure some of the misconception about the 330i should be cleared up. Of course - with the 335, BMW buried its competition.

Thinking abt the N55, it's only 3yrs old (debuted in the F07), so there's at least a few more yrs life in it yet.
U can always put a M-performance power kit later...... |

No Accord could hang with a 330i - straight line or curves. I listed the C&D test in my other post - they tested it at 5.6s to 60 - and no Accord of the time was quicker than that. |

I do recall many people getting pissed though. Like the OP, I would have been pissed too, but that's just me.

Everything is old if now if your definition of old is that a newer version will be released in the future.
Buy the car for what it is now. Whatever comes out in the future doesn't change what is available now. If you love it, buy it. If not, then don't. |

Yeah the S54 is a beast of engineering. A class of its own. More than 100hp per liter.
