Wow, SC would make it a lot faster.
Yeah, that's the hope, but today I test drove the M5 (yes, AWG it was AW - just for you) and I don't know if I would spend the $$ anymore for an SC -better to save the $$ for my next ride - AN M5!! As soon as possible I am getting an M, period.

Yup. Plain ol M5. If u dont like it, we can do an even trade. I'll even give u a first class plane ticket to NY, pay for shipping of the car, and treat you to Peter Luger for a feast!

My 550 is bone stock. I love the look of the LCI 550i Sport (172s, M Tech kit, blacked out exhaust tips) and I would not change a thing about it cosmetically.
He said he's stock. but his exhaust tips are blacked out... hmm....

The original Peter Luger is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is even better than the Great Neck branch. Yum!

No Peter Luger in Manhattan. But the former head waiter has several restaurants in Manhattan (name of them is Wolfgang's) that do a good imitation of Peter Lugar. One is on Park Ave in the 30s and the other that I know of is on Greenwich Street in Tribeca.

Well my ride does sport the E60.net clings so I suppose that it's not totally unmodded.

My tips are stock. They are wrapped in something that sort of blacks them out. I assume that all LCI 550i Sports have it as well.

You sound like me. On Sunday my 550 got smoked coming off a light on Route 9 North in New Jersey by a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The fast that a $40K car is faster than a $70K 550 really pisses me off. I need a power upgrade (although I'll probably wait until the end of the lease in 2012).

Ya I forget what year... 2008? and on has the smoked black tips to distinguish it more from the non-V8s haha since the 535 now has upgraded to the 545/550 exhaust tips they had to change the 550 tips.

Was it a "Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Fcuking Quick - 400" ( hahaha can that name be any longer) ? <--- actually I dont think they sell this version in the states... but

It does 0 to 60 in 3.8... sadly not even an M5 can keep up with that...
