My Ride: A Car
Yeah but the Dinan Stroker kit for the e60 is 628 hp @ 7500 rpm and 480 lb-ft torque @ 6000 rpm!!! That's V10 power. Not to mention u can always put a turbocharger in the V10. Rear mount turbo! Break necking 830hp!! I dunno how the shifts in the DCT will feel. It wouldnt feel like anything tho probably. I am also wondering if DCT shifts will be SLOWER than SMG-3 from fifth to third gear. I know from fifth to forth is lightning speed but what about fifth to third?

Imagine if you extend that upgrade to a more aggressive one, getting bigger turbos and larger intercoolers etc....
Plus if the KERS rumor is true than you would get a 700bhp tuned F10 M5, with no more than 5000 Euros, + KERS for 800bhp.

That's awesome, congrats! But don't forget to compile the list of first year production issues you may run into and be sure to shove it in your dealer's face. 
Also, when do you expect delivery of that bad boy?

All legit questions and points well made but you have to consider that if for example Hamann brought the X5/6 M from 555bhp to 670 bhp all only by raising boost and exhaust then you have to think that similar will be done with the next M5 so that it brings the level of cheap and easy to mod performance to roughly 700bhp.
Imagine if you extend that upgrade to a more aggressive one, getting bigger turbos and larger intercoolers etc....
Plus if the KERS rumor is true than you would get a 700bhp tuned F10 M5, with no more than 5000 Euros, + KERS for 800bhp.

multumesc Bro, almost... the only exhaust is a full exhaust system with sometimes headers modified by HAMANN or catalyst pipes, and middle, x pipes etc mufflers, that is always giving a car min 30 Hp gain, another 30 Hp comes from ECU (remap) modification.
hope all is clear now guys, but this is not that cheap you see 12.000 EUR! but affordable compared to the gain, and FUN lol.
