Lets not even go there my friend ive been driving RWD cars all my life.

Honestly with how advanced the standard traction control systems are in most cars today, you really have to ask for it to get in trouble in just wet conditions. AWD is nice and I have one as a co-daily driver and have had plenty of high performance AWD cars.

But you were the one who posted in a thread that was dormant for nearly 6 months telling us how some other car was more impressive than the OP's M5 because it had a 1.6x and a 106mph trap speed. You like to instigate and then cry about our superiority complex when you are dismissed as being a troll...which is exactly what you did by your original post and subsequent ones (you post your slips on dragtimes and claim to have seen mine...and could easily browse and see a couple of others posted on there...but originally you claimed to only have seen 1 sub 12 second run by an M5). So have you made yourself feel better because you spent less money, for a slower car?

You mean i would be driving a car that runs stock numbers? out of 2 Dinan cars that i ran against stage 3 and stage 4 both ran stock times... even to this day Dinan was not able to re install the software or give full refund. no thank you i want to keep my money and spend it wisely.

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.

Nolle is over priced i have spent $200 on my tune and already run 12.1 and this is only a beta tune.. next stage will be out in few months, i will be at Atco this week aiming for 11.7 119

They might be expensive but they are actually upgrading the turbos (bigger compressor wheels?) so it should theoretically have the ability to produce more power than just a tune. I am not sure how many options are out there for the 550.

Well the weather should be very favorable this weekend and it would be interesting to see an M5 run on the same day in the same conditions. I think 119mph might be a bit optimistic but then again you might get there if you can run high boost on race gas in perfect conditions.

of the line that 550xi ( in video) would have a huge jump on the M5... on a roll it would be nice to see 550i.
i will be Running at Atco my friend has Evolve M5 traps 123-125 if he is not busy he will join me.

BMS stage 2 will be out in few months.

As promised slips from Atco:

So you are still slower than a stock m5

Nice times!!
I have both cars 550i Dinan stage 2 and M5 LCI and I can say that 550i is really fast too and I am not surprised that it can be as fast with a tune! Last time I drove it to BMW for an inspection for a possible buyer I was really surprised how fast it is even compared to M5!! And has its own way of handling like a luxury refined car and now I understand BMW engineers why they made it this way!! because it will appeal to a lot more people for sure because most people are not enthusiasts like us!!

For me M5 is not about speed or even status like some people think though I do care about these but what comes first is being and feeling ONE with the car!! Not sure how to express it but I never felt one with 550i always disconnected from the car but M5 is all about connectedness if that makes any sense and mostly won't unless you are an M5 owner or M3 or even M5 owner!! Not even test drive gets you there because it is like a relationship that gets better with time!!

They are in 2 completely different categories and I will be surprised that they will appeal to same person!!

My 2 cents

I recently got a 650 gran coupe for a 1000 mile road trip and as much as I loved the car and the engine there was a lot of things missing. The "it" factor was definitely not present.
Because of that road trip I am now looking at m6 gran coupe.

Also a lot of feel is lost due to run flat Tires, by switching them it will be night and day.

Just did a 11.5@123 today. Cars zoomin. Eisenmann race exhaust with catless AMS DP's and JB4 Tune.

Awesome! What did you have your JB4 set at? What was your 60 foot time? I am going to run my JB next Friday hopefully.

[Sharpie12]

It was set to default "3". Idk my 60' because the sensors were down but I think it must have been about a 1.8 or 1.7

What's with this 1/4 mile madness around here? Seriously. Do you guys realize how funny you all look? It's like this is the only thing this car is good at. Is it? Of course not! You should be enjoying it's endless features.
