I bet the S55 can handle more. It's an M engine. It's newer and not designed to simplify anything such as the N55. The N55 to me was a compromise vs the N54. They had to make the engine a lot more reliable at the cost of some things that enthusiasts have always hailed the N54 for. All I know is that the N54 had enough injector and HPFP problems and I never want to have anything to do with either again.
