So what happens when your tires blow out or if you get a nail in your tire? Call BMW Assist or AAA?
OK, subscribe BMW Assist or buy AAA insurance is another performance mod

wetterauer offer 396bhp. Digitaltuning offer 406bhp and around 580nm
Obviously this must not be the same digitaltuning outfit. The numbers do not jive.

don't want to spoil your fun but... what on earth do you need extra power for on a 550 when you are only allowed 55 mph max on the freeway??? get real, enjoy what you have: one of, or probably the, worlds best cars; smoking other beamers or mercs or whatever is for highschoolkids

That's what you say now. Then you'll want a supercharger next. It'll never end..... It's a diseaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Someone needs to set up horsepower anonymous.

If human can handle the acceleration power of the rocket, hp for car is never enough. Why not get a Corvette Z06? It's very affordable and has hp you like.
