would agree about the S65/S85. They were derived from a v10 formula 1 project. they didn't share a single thing with the 'lesser' 3 or 5 series models. The n55, s55, b58, and s58 are all cousins in my eyes. its right there in the naming scheme. they used R&D from the n55 and b58 to build the M motors.
