I'd say both, I feel like the suspension beats you up more, if the bushings/balljoints/etc aren't in good shape, the back end can feel very unnerving. The rawness isn't rewarding, rather it just take a toll on you.

Powerwise yes, the S65 just has a bit more punch and feeling that it is something special. I haven't ever heard an S54 that I liked the sound of, if you could mute the exhaust and do a CSL airbox then maybe it would be okay.
That S54 vanos rattle around 3000 rpm
Really got on my nerves quick
