So the 550 in the video has:
"AR Design catless downpipes; SS full exhaust; Noelle moded ECU + turbos (ca. 540 PS)"
They are pretty much even until 170km/h when the video stops. I have a feeling that as the speeds increased the 550 would be falling behind.
According to the Noelle website they charge 7,900 Euro (about $10K USD)for the upgraded turbos, ECU tune and sport cats. The full SS exhaust must cost around another $4-5K. So $15K+ in mods + labor + the price of a 550 xdrive gets you pretty much to the price of an M5 with similar options but without certain cosmetics (i.e. rear valence, trims etc), suspension, brakes and warranty.
But hey if you absolutely need AWD and 4 doors it is a pretty good deal.
