Some one please explain to me how they managed to get the same 0-60 with less powerful engine... Does the new 8-gear tranny have anything to do with that?

I have N54 in my 335, it is a powerful engine, N55 is a bit faster on achieving hp/torque by 0.5 second...

Can't wait to drive it (the 3.5i)...
Probably has to do with the Torque Curve on the 3.5i.
