I guess I have been babying my car. Yesterday out for a short fast drive, I ran across a new Chrysler SRT. This isn't a kill story, rather when I gunned it I pressed the pedal to the floor for the very first time and realized something...There seems to be a two phase resistance in the pedal. You press a little and the accelerator seems to come to full travel. I pressed a little farther and ZOOM! 
. I guess I just never noticed it before. I am yet again impressed with my 550i. I assume at some point it will max out, but until it does I LOVE this car!!!!!

The way to use the E60 gas pedal in performance mode is holding the gas pedal at around 3K rpm, release it a little bit, and stomp on it. It requires some practice, and you'll see a lot. I mean a lot of torque and power coming out of our E60. Mine is just M54 225hp engine and I already feel so much power and fun.
