We picked up an e61 a few days ago. We love all the room the e61 offers.

All I can see is how similar that Taurus/500 is in profile, at least in that shot, to an E61. Freaky. -
Love those E61s. One of the best cars I ever had.

N52B30. I did not want the headaches of the N54/55. We already have one of those headaches😏 in the 1 series. "Passion is timeless"Originally posted by 2mAn View Post'91 318i (Alpine) - daily

Congrats and hope you enjoy the new ride! I wonder how many of us E30 folk also own a later chassis Touring? I'm in the E46 camp with 2mAn.

Luckily the e60s did not get the n55 even at the end of the gen. I’m on the look out for a 2010 m sport 535xi. I’d consider selling my e30 if the “perfect” one came up. Good buy! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkComment

N54 came out first (2006). The N55 was introduced in 2009 "Passion is timeless"Originally posted by 2mAn View Post'91 318i (Alpine) - daily

the n54 had two turbos and the n55 had "twin power turbo" which is just a single twin scroll turbo
n54 had forged internals and the n55 had cast rods and a cast crank, but forged pistons.
so the n54 is more turner friendlyCurrent Collection: 1990 325is // 1987 325i Vert // 2003 525i 5spd // 1985 380SL // 1992 Ranger 5spd // 2005 Avalanche // 2024 Honda Grom SP

I thought that some versions of the n55 had forged cranks, like in the 135is and 335is, plus upgraded intercoolers or something also.Originally posted by MrBurgundy View Post
