These are times from VBox and Dragy

So it would appear the absolute fastest N54 is just enough for a 720s lol

I just checked the weight,

1419kg kerb weight, its about 200kg/440 lb lighter than E90/E92 335i,

In the 700s somewhere, I guess..

Just an FYI, I ran a 153 mph half mile which is okay but I was in limp mode in every run near the finish. DCT was creating false knock for me. I will be upgrading to a M4 Flywheel soon.

Dude. That's the perfect amount of power. ACTUALLY drivable and useful for commuting to work and Mexico driving on the weekends. I've not driven anything that fast but I know I'd be hooked. Anything more is pointless unless all you care about is straight-line performance.
