Dude, Calton has the full RPI exhaust (sans headers), scoops, block off plates, filters, pulleys and Dinan software. BMWPower06 has just a section 3 exhaust. How is this race fair?? hahaha
Actually I just mentioned C because he was the first to come to mind.

There are a lot of highly modified M5s in NY based on what I've seen on M5Board and I think Calton knows a lot of them. I'm surprised I haven't heard from him of any runs with other M5s.

haha i'd love to do a friendly run, he should chime in...I have RPi scoops on the way though 
Hard to find locals with such a car that would be willing to do a run. The majority of the people who own these cars arent fanatics like us. But if there is any1 in the area please chime in
let me know if you're ever in the area

It says the 335 is bone stock and the fact it was beating or even staying close to that m5 in p400 is stupid. I know the m5 is heavier but still....seriously?
One thing i did notice is the 530 has lci tails that seem to flicker a lot in the vids. I dont know what year your car is but im going to assume its not lci. Im going to assume you bought lci's + bruce's cables. If my assumptions are correct which cables do you have because they are flickering a lot during regular driving.....or is it the camera??

It is the camera because I got bruces v6 cables and shouldnt be flickering at all. My car is an 05. THANKS A LOT for the comments guys and I promise that I will keep you entertained with more videos/takedowns. I would love to challenge a 550 or 535...But like i said previously there arnt that many people around here that are willing to race
Thanks again for the comments guys

Sure. I lived in NoVa for 4 years between 1997-2000 (Crystal City and Fairfax, Va near the Vienna Metro). Unfortunately I don't get down there much. I am sure if you want to make a road trip to NYC, there would be plenty of members who would be dying to see what the SC530 can do.
Im actually planning a trip down soon because I wanted to get the White LED clusters and White LED headlights by nixdoof but im just waiting for my MAF sensor to come in so everything will run smoothly. Ill let you guys in NY know when im planning on heading up.
