Engine Specs

The N54 and N55 make identical factory numbers and get there differently: two small turbochargers against one twin-scroll unit with Valvetronic. The argument between them is about what each engine accepts afterwards.

The N52 is the naturally aspirated six BMW sold through the second half of the 2000s, and it is the engine under most 128i, 328i, and 528i hoods of that era. What it asks of owners today is gasket work rather than major repairs.

The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata keeps the formula that made it the best-selling two-seat roadster in history: a 181-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, a curb weight under 2,520 lb, and a six-speed manual as standard. Prices start at $29,530.

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is not a faster Crosstrek. It keeps the 182-hp 2.5-liter flat-four, and what changes is the hardware around it: taller ride height, all-terrain tires, a shorter final drive, and a much higher tow rating.
