Best of all the whole setup will cost far less than a V8 M3. And when you beat them at the light, they still don't know what's going on, "Oh shit, I just got beaten by a 520i" .
just back from Germany, bad situation for BMW and MB, new models are on hold....
keep your E60's

Some of you guys might know my recent problem with the lock on my truck, they claim that operation with the wiring earlier had voided the warranty with my trunk, and now ask for $1500 for just the checking up 
. They claim they had to do a bypass to prevent the shorted circuit 
; btw. I had to be furious with them to ensure they give me back the car today... after whole day yesterday, they said they needed yet another day to follow thru (at 3:30pm!) 
Far out!!
So, the wiring of the car should be the last to mess with if you still have warranty, unless the mod is done like S.Booster, using the original adaptor, no cutting and soldering with the wires are needed, ie. reversible and untraceable
