A little bargaining, wave some cash around, a few tasteful lowballs and you might get it for $1200. 1200/195 = $6.15 per hrspr Well when you put it that way, how can a guy go wrong?

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 buddy has an M550, very sweet car but a lot more money than the 540. 523 hp is nothing to sneeze at. That being said, I've never owned a vehicle as good as my 340. Haven't put one dime into fixing anything on it. My mods are just a downpipe, intake and stage 2 tune. It's night and day faster than stock, and stock is not slow by any means. My wifes X7 with the B58 is hands down quicker than our tahoe we traded it for. About 10mpg average better too Edited August 1 by Doorider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to eventually have the typical BMW oil leaks, Valve cover, oil filter housing, oil cooler.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is the GEN1, so I'm maxed for power with my fuel pump. Been debating on upgrading it and going E40 tune. My BIL is running that on his M340 and it makes 507hp and over 600 ft-lbs at the wheels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
