How can white win after 55. BF2?

#20
Yes 48...Ke3 holds, but 48...Kc1 loses.
So in conclusion, after move 46, with correct play this position is a draw although the engine says -3.4?
#22
Yes, the engine evaluation means nothing if it stays at a stable -3.4.
A high number which doesn't change is no ounce better than a 0.00. A position is only good when it can be improved. The trend is your friend.

49 Bd3 should be 49 Ba2! +- After 49 Bd3 black can defend 49...Kd2
