My Ride: E39 525i, E60 530i, F10

I've test driven a 300+ HP E39 530i before. Very powerful but not easy to drive because the ASC kicked in quite oftenly. If you turn it off, it wheel spins easily when you step on your gas paddle quickly. I wonder a 407 HP on an E60 will do better.

You ain't seen nothin yet. Jr brought the car to BVO as I was busy and he said there was a 530 SC there with a whopping 407 HP!!! Could it have been 5speedman?
If thats the case, if I were brave enough to SC the 545, then would it beat the M5? Would the gearbox be able to take the increase in torque?

Is your 545 SMG? If auto trans, I don't think the torque converter will transmit 500+ HP, or can it? ![Think](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/think.gif)

Mine is a steptronic. No way am I ever gonna SC the thing. I use the 545 as my "comfort car" and that is why I don't even do an exhaust mod. The power is there only when I need it or want to abuse it; otherwise its one damned smooth ride

Just got another update from Rob. He's in Korea right now and trying to book a flight out to SIN. He guesses that he'll be here earliest Friday but positively Saturday. Trust these Ang Mohs to do things in this manner. There's plenty of money waiting for him and he takes his time
If I were in his shoes, I'd make Singapore my first stop and then proceed to Korea for the other jobs plus shop till I drop.
Okay, CYCLONE on Friday; anybody keen?
1. B_73_M plus Serene plus fren
2. Douglas
3. Edlee (w/out son)
