Question of the day: how much horsepower is enough?

Having driven a 650S McLaren, in no way do I want that suspension in my daily driver M5. Talk about stiff.......

I hope BMW provides "factory tuned" ECU. This way we are sure it's confirmed and approved by BMW engineers who design the car and know all the specs and limitations. I don't mind to pay extra thousands of dollar if I know it's BMW approved and they stand behind the tune if something goes wrong.

I did test drove MP4 and really enjoyed it. Only two things disappointed me.
Turbo lag and SSG. SSG is really seamless and not as sharp and as fast as DCT and turbo lag was obvious, but MP4 doesn't have that much torque we have on M5/M6. How was 650s in these departments?

It was an exciting drive. Didn't notice much turbo lag, and shifting IIRC wasn't as smooth as the DCT. It is a bad ass car. I really want one of I could afford it and had the garage space. It is just real stiff and obviously made for the track.
