Great price but the lemon law "branding" may hurt you in the long run when you try to resell (if you care about that). I remember seeing used lemon law buy-back M5s listing for about $68K but most people won't touch it...even if the problem has been fixed. It's almost as bad as having a salvage title.

DMS remap> takes the car from 231hp to 255hp
Afe CAI with Dinan Stage 1 sw> 255hp to 265hp
Dinan Throttle body with SW> 265hp to 277hp
ACS exhaust >277 to 287 hp
sorry not quite 300 I will post after a dyno has been performed. Going to a local car meet this weekend in WI, i will find out for sure. Its a world of improvement over the 231. Make it feel so much quicker...
