woah..28.360,00 euros...if i did the math correctly, i dont really consider paying 35 grand for 100hp+ for a m5/m6....
i mean, it would totally make your m5 a beast (which already is) but is it worth tuning it up to 600+ from 506 for 30 grand?
if you had loads of money to spend on it would be a good option but i dont think its worth putting the time/money into a car that is already the benchmark of all sport sedans
my words.... that is a price of a brand new 525i right there
for way over 100grand there are some other mean machines

actually: if you have 35grand for tuning, you will not be driving "just" an M5 to begin with.........saying this even as much as I love and dream about M5

Hey Peter, I agree with you, but if money was not an object, you would have one of a kind M5

Cidair, you should try DMS from ther UK. They promise 548 bhp or money back. I also heard they've now come up with headers and an exhaust system that can better the 548.

If I do anything at all, to the engine, I will probably go with Kelleners Sport.

My friend bought their tuning kit ( camshafts, race cats, ECU reprogramming ).

Results: 55 hp / 50 Nm gain at around 5000 rpm, and 35 hp / 20 Nm at 8000 rpm.
The engine also revs much quicker - his car hits the limiter 1 - 2 seconds quicker than mine,
at full throttle. It?s also even more responsive and sound awesome!


Then there is price issue and insurance / warranty issues..............

I know your worries. We have the same ones in Singapore too. However, with DMS, you pay around 1500 pounds and its only a remap. You can have it removed anytime you want. Best of all, its a great improvement throughout. I sat in a friend's M5 (remapped by DMS recently) and my GOD, was I impressed. The car just kept clinbing in speed, wanting more and more input from the driver. He bought me around in AUTO at 500 BHP with SMG logic set at 4. The moment he let it rip, the car just sped off, DSC lighting up like a Christmas tree at every gear change.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention; the limiter was also raised to 400 KM/H, not that its ever gonna hit that.

I was told that DMS has a client with an M6 in Bahrain hitting 340KM/H (readable only from HUD). This was recorded for private viewing and I am awaiting for the clip from them. The fastest I've done on a straight road is 273KM/H on a highway in Malaysia recently. I'm quite tempted to go for the DMS remap but only after the car's more than a year old and I'm sure that the software, etc has stablised.
