This is what I love so much about cars! It doesn't matter what we bought, we want it faster. And selling a 525 for a 550 won't matter! Soon we start looking how to make it faster too.
The guys that have an M5 want more out of their car as well.
The car I had before my 535 I would have been happy to tune it to 300HP. Now I'm starting there and looking for 400

Remember the "Turbo" button that used to be on the front of some the old computers? Just put one of those on the dashboard before you sell it. The placibo will add about 25HP guranteed. If you charge them $300 to keep it with the car they will swear they can feel the difference.

The amount of improvement in wheel torque is proportional to the change in gear ratio, e.g 3.46 => 3.91 increases acceleration by 3.91/3.46 or 1.13 which is +13% or equivalent to adding 26 ft-lb on a 200 ft-lb engine.
