I don't really understand the argument you are trying to make. BMW engine swaps are not exactly a common thing.
So in practical terms, F87 DOES means N55, and G87 means S58. There's no reason to pretend othewise.
Now, given an equivalent amount of modding, the G87 beats F87. Handily. It handles better, it brakes better, it has a more powerful motor (with a higher ceiling), it has better cooling. A few hundred pounds in stock weight isn't going to counteract all the advantages the G87 has.
So I think the G87 has the higher ceiling.
Edit: If you mean the F87 FAMILY (the F87C and F87CS), then maybe there's an argument to be made. But the base F87 with N55 is not competitive.
