People keep saying this but as many reviewers have said the S55 continues to pull hard to redline. |
The reason half of the reviewers mention it is because it stops making more power at 5500 rpm . This takes a lot of the excitement out of the experience of revving it to redline as acc does not increase after 5500 but remains constant . To those not blinded by midrange punch it's very noticeable dynamically when that happens and many don't like it . That's why the S63 TU is a best of both worlds motor as it has massive midrange but actually continues to make MORE power right up to redline . Anyone would prefer it on the dynamic chassis of the M3/4 . Let's see some real world dynos and Vbox numbers on the S55 to be sure , but when experienced journalists complain about something there is usually something to it .
