My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I definitely want the X-Pipe now, but until the X5 arrives, my wife wants nothing to do with it. It's bad enough when she pulls into Starbucks each morning and everyone stops to stare at her. She gets so embarrassed. Hahahahaha!

Dave said he actually raced a stock M5 on the freeway one time. He said it had him by a nose length before they had to slow down. I think it would probably be pretty even early on, but once we hit 80-100, I would start pulling away. The key for me though, is getting a good start from a dig. The rear wheels on the M when DSC is off (which is a must to have Sequential 6) can be tough after a few runs. On one run today with Kerry and his 550, my tires were spinning with barely me mashing on the gas at first. I wonder if having the Michelin PS2's would be better, than the T1R's for this?
There's a member here in NY that has the JB3 on his 535 (alpha12345) and I want to race him next time. Will let you know when that happens and the results.

You guys need to do some heads up races similar to the GTboard.
Set a starting orange cone. Head-up, roll from 30 mph.
Two guys in each car, one with camera to film the race.
Like this (C you can beat a wagon can't you ) RS6 wagon vs. M5:
