I'm looking forward to this also. Yep, keep us in the loop. Our 550's according to dinan was already maxed out, and nothing they could do about it. With that sc, I'm looking for good things to happen.

Yo turboawd. jjsigpi installed this kit and saw ~100hp at the wheels. Not sure if the kit alone is enough to make the car faster than an m5 but perhaps jjsigpi can comment on that..

Thank you kajiholic. Looking to get more hp but looking to have fun tweaking and playing with things as well.

Hey boss. Looking forward to seeing the numbers as well. Sort of interested to see if the other mods have an impact on the results. Will be taking pics along the way. Thanks man.

Hi boots. Yeah, I dunno. My observation has been that there will usually be more aftermarket parts available for the M...but you can sometimes apply similar approaches on the 'i' class.
