I've been running Continentals Extreme Contacts for my street M Coupe for some time. The current set is the newest Extreme Contact Sport. The good news is that they are an extremely good wet weather tires. The bad news is that while the front tires will last maybe 35K miles, the rears are about 80% gone by 15K, even though this is 100% street driving. So this time I have an extra rear Roadstar, and am rotating three of the rear tires every 4K miles or so. I'm hoping the trio will last a cumulative 25K+ miles or so.

I didn't read everyones reply here, but I'll throw in my two cents.
I have a few crazy HP BMWs. With that said.. The S54 coupe is a Lot of fun in a coupe. The chassis doesn't really need more power. You can get in to trouble pretty quick if you're not being careful. For me.. that's half the fun of taking any car out.
If the choice is S54 Coupe vs S52 Coupe and you can get an S54 Coupe.. Get an S54 Coupe. The S54 as some have mentioned, is much better engineered. It's not a lot more fussy than an S52 and a US S52 is basically a slightly tweaked M52. Meh
If it's S52 turbo vs n/a S54... S52 turbo FTW!
