Both the N54 and N55 have won the award in their first year in production.

This.
S55 will be up for International Engine of the Year. It will fall into the 2.5L - 3.0L category. It will most likely dominate that category for years.
I have a little conspiracy theory that is one of reasons why BMW didn't go with a larger displacement inline 6. They didn't want to fall into the next category up (3.0L - 4.0L), that is now dominated by the McLaren 3.8L V8.
