Has he run the thing at any of the local 1/8 miles?
I haven't taken my 550 out but I suspect it'll run a 8.8-8.9... Pocket Dyno on my iPhone says 9.10, but I have only done that once. My V8 Pathfinder ran a 9.3X at Kennedale and this 550 will run circles around that thing, so...

Since then i have added full exhaust, gears, and some random suspension stuff.
Heres a pic of my ride..

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
I have a 545i, it's stock, but i'd do it. I'll be back in the DFW area next weekend, so anytime after that i'm game.
Where's pjinca, I need those damn floormats!

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss

This race was over the minute you said "mustang"... honestly, it would be a waste of gas for the 550i
Anyway, the 550i is a good 400lbs. heavier than the Mustang GT. It would be really close probably up to at least 110MPH or so by my estimate.
I had a '99 & a '05. The '99 was garbage. The '05 was divine by comparison. I miss my '05 a LOT!

Since then i have added full exhaust, gears, and some random suspension stuff.

That is gonna beat pretty much anything here in the straight line, short of an M5... Sorry fellas, Mustang will get this one, IMO.
