Sadly, I think that's negligible on this engine.
That's the kind of quantifiable analysis BMW should consider if they are truly going to put out a hp bump. Five figures for 3.5% and cc brakes, etc? Pretty significant cost in terms of $/hp.

Now if they offered 8-9% that might get more a positive response...though as folks have said, it's not like this M5 lacks any get-up-and-go.
