There's a chip that awakens the turbo N55 DOHC-6 for another 40-50hp (340+hp), and then there's downpipes. Great engine. Glad you got the 3.0L turbo version!

I have sought a '10 or later N55 135i 6-speed later down the road.

It'll be interesting to hear your impressions comparing the two after your first few stints at the wheel.
I've considered getting a 135i myself. Congrats on the new purchase Jim, let us know how it compares to the E
