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 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

500-520hp.. Get some goodies from Burger Motorsports & ARM Motorsports. It's going to eventually have the typical BMW oil leaks, Valve cover, oil filter housing, oil cooler..

I'm running the VRSF catless downpipe and MHD tune.  Been absolutely flawless! 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

Nice man!! That Should fit all of you comfortably. Send me a pic or post one up

Not sure that this really fits as best values per hp dollar, but I love this motor.

 

Pick up the car Monday and then will post pics of it, but being the powerplant thread figure this belongs here first.

Thanks.  Have me by a long shot.  11.2 in the quarter is pretty quick though for a land barge.
