top end mattered more. pulleys are badass. i remember in that one european car mag that had iceman's 550 in it, the alpinewhite 545 had pulleys too. maybe if the runs were from 0-60, the M5 with the 3.91 would probably jump and pull ahead, but not from a roll.

The AW 545i didn't have a pulley. Trust me on that. The mag wrote what was told to them. No verification was ever done.

Excuse me, but what exactly is a pulley?

Some of the components of our engine, for example, air conditioner, water pump, power steering, and alternator, rely on the engine itself to get them working. These components are linked to your engine by a belt. One end of a belt loops around a pulley which is attached to your crankshaft. The other end of the belt loops around the pulleys to these components. Stock pulleys are often heavy and spin at a fast rate.

Aftermarket pulleys are usually made of lighter materials which means less power needed to spin them. In addition, the aftermarket pulleys are a little larger so they don't need to spin as fast. In general, performance pulleys decrease the amount of power being robbed from your engine when compared to a stock pulley. This translates into more power being available to go to your wheels.

Here's a picture I grabbed from ebay just to give you an idea (but this one really sucks
