I actually agree that, overall, the S65 wins (though unlike most people, what I really want is the S65 weight!). The problem is, the S65 is the only part of the e9X that I prefer to the e46.

In my particular case, however:



My S54 vs a S65. The rev limiter was capping the S65 early. That means the peak numbers were lower, but the numbers under the curve to that point aren't effected. S65 is bone stock, mine has exhaust, tune, and an intake elbow.

My S54 in red, S65 in blue.

Soon I'll do more than bolt ons!
