Both the M550i and the F90 M5 have AWD and virtually have the same exact transmission too. So maybe it's worth it save yourself $30,000 and just tune up an M550i instead? Unless you plan on tracking either car, then the F90 M5 is the better choice no contest.

What say you?
Wait until they start tuning the f90. Plus steering, suspension different turbos. M5 is a different beast. You canÂ’t compare the two.
The S63tu4 engine has the same exact limits as the S63tu, meaning the internals are still cast. People will still be bending rods on future F90's that are modded. The main advantage in the F90's drivetrain as far as modding goes is the new ZF8 transmission that will be able to hold more than 700wtq. But then again, the M550i has the same exact transmission hardware so it'll have the same limits as the F90. The F90 will have the advantage in suspension design though.
Really? So we won't see f90s pushing 800hp on stock internals anytime soon? I thought s63tu had many cars pushing 800 on the f10.
