335i - N54 or N55
« on: May 23, 2018, 08:58:49 am »
anyone got experience of these? I bet the N55 is the more reliable engine but the N54 is more tuneable? 

Looking at a touring as i need a performance estate in my life

My mate's got a 335d X drive Touring remapped to 480lbft or something daft like that.  Feels fast as fook as a passenger, but weirdly my ED30 keeps up with it no trouble on the move, but from a standstill it utterly destroys my car  :grin:

Anyway, I can't answer your question but maybe this can - https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiO2a7qt6bbAhVLe8AKHf_nAMsQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bmwn54tuners.com%2Fn54-vs-n55-comparison%2F&usg=AOvVaw0mc1ANJbAKFWDxQmo4LAIj
