I keep seeing ads for the new line of performance parts being rolled out at the BMW dealerships. Ads say that initial availability is for 1-series and 3-series. Does anyone know if they plan anything for our 5-series (and if so, when)?

As you can tell from many of the discussions on this forum not many 5ers mod their cars, so probably not enough money in it for BMW to do.

I have an 08 550 and would love to have quad exhausts like the m5. Have any of you done that and is there any performance change or is it just cometic?
many of the cars you see on this forum have that...just search around buddy...
o and its mainly for the "sound" and the cosmetics, but you do get some performance gains depending on your setup (i.e. whether you connect it all the way to the intake or not, etc.)...
