Pretty easy to find FBO kits for N54 from the cursory google search.  $10k for the car plus $3k for a kit installed for 500+ HP  is a decent deal.  :bc:

Spend just a bit more for a B58. More reliable and easy to make big power too. I have just a downpipe and tune for 420hp to the wheels.  My BIL is running E40 on his and is much quicker than mine. 

 

90k miles, 50k been tuned and have not done one single repair

From $13-$15k for a premium example to $50-$60k for a premium example of 500 hp is a pretty large jump…  

Id say that’s not exactly “just a bit more”.  :lol:

I’m not a BMW guy at all but the 1/2/3 series all look pretty badass.

Mine was 32k 5 years ago.  You can find some for under 20k. $500 for a tune, $300 for a downpipe

My one tech just bought a 430 from a customer, for $2500, shed the #6 cylinders rings..Scooped up an eBay motor for 4k, It's got a engine tune and trans tune, high pressure fuel pump, intake, M series calipers.. it's a good running car. Gets me off the line every time

BTW, one can find a nice used 2021 Tesla S Plaid for about $72,000, it has 1020hp.  Thats $70.60/hp, a damn good value for a 200mph car that scoots 0-60 in 2.1 seconds.

What's the range?

280-300 on the Plaid I believe.

Neal

That's acceptable, especially in a warmer climate.

If the price of used Teslas keeps coming down an S Plaid looks pretty appealing.

Anyone I know that has one, says travelling is a pita. Electric car in general. My son doesnt like his, my daughter in law likes hers. They use his truck when travelling.

I don’t know why anyone would buy it for long distance commutes.  It’s a 50 mile a day commuter.

For running errands it would be ideal...if it weren't a complete piece of shit.  I tried like hell to buy one, but drive one once and even the acceleration does nothing to make it an okay experience.  Serious piece of crap.  Perhaps they will get the next generation right...although history shows they will fuck that up too.  Either way the fanboi's will love it.

Turned in my S6 and am shopping.  Plaid is out, such a piece of shit...tried again.  How far can you take the B58 in a 5 series?  Comparing to the M550i.  Need a car for a year only so not interested in spending a ton at the moment.  540 would be the cheapest option.  Also contemplating a 17 CTS-V, 17 Panamera Turbo, S8, M550i/540.  For a year I think the 540 makes the most sense, but it's too slow stock.

My lazy gargling says that engine may have 195hps.

A little bargaining, wave some cash around, a few tasteful lowballs and you might get it for $1200.

1200/195 = $6.15 per hrspr
