The 50i has an updated N63 version from the E70 generation (N63 vs. N63tu)...perhaps the N55 inline 6 does as well? Someone here will know...

B58? That replaces the n55 in the 2,3 and 4 series, while bumping the model # from *35i to *40i (eg 335i to 340i). AFAIK, the x5 still gets the n55 - is there an x5 40i?
