My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
If you get a bazooka, you've gotta be able and willing to use it. Most 535 "drivers" are no match for me and my 525xI. Yes, I know the car is far more superior, but it does not mean the driver is......

so BMW is only pumping out an additional 45hp with twin turbos? Sounds like a few good mods and a tune can have you chasing down a stock 535i.
Don't let BMW fool ya. It has been widely proven through dynos that the x35 turbo cars are a bit underrated by BMW. Wheel HP has been around 275 for these cars (accounting for drivetrain losses, thats about 325-330 at the crank. Around 30+ more HP than advertised!)
