Great video. Loved the music. It does suck, however, that even after a $10K investment, the 335 is still faster. Good luck in tinkering with it to make it beat the 335.
I never had a doubt that the M5 in P500 would kick the living crap out of the 335. Once that thing is moving and revving, it is a monster. The V10's Formula 1 sounding exhaust is just intoxicating. Anyone want to assume my 550i's lease so I can step up to the M5?

Ok, so this proves only that I can spend a crap load of $$$$$$ and STILL not be able to keep up with a 335? Thanks bro, that video was disheartening. Oh well, guess I gotta use the $$$ towards an M5, woe is me.

There is no question that with the 10K investment, it did transform what would have been a total destruction of the 530 by the 335 into a pretty close race.

I'm still curious what mods the 335 has.

Exactly. The Auto in the 335 really helped it. In ~30 minutes Jake's 530SC will be running a 335i Manual sedan. Video should be up tonight!!
