And it still weighs more than the moon!

You're a very very bad man. Dirty BMW.

It's not too bad ... Weighs about the same as an RS 5 yet with 67PS more

Very nice.

I had it's Saloon brother, being an Interlagos Blue E60 M5. I let DMS unleash about 40 extra horses so well worth getting it down there. Loved the engine but never really warmed to the SMG box as the Auto aspect was useless & around town etc. the paddles were jerky but once rolling it was a monster:)

You are right about the SMG box but I was used to the R-Tronic in the R8 which is the same and it's a weekend toy for me anyway so no town duties.

Extra 40horses you say! Mmmmmmmm......

Don't forget you'd also get a delimit which makes that car (with enough tarmac) a 200mph motor.

Don't think i've driven an R-Tronic so can't say if the SMG is better/worse, but as you say it's probably similar enough.

No as these are not FSI engines which is where the coking problem emanates.

Was just reading about a chap (on PH) whose just had his E60 M5 fettled at DMS & pre-map his car dyno'd at i think 512bhp so that's 5 over BMW's claimed output.

I've just dropped them an email to ask for a 'Mates rate' as i set up a group buy price for the F10 M5 recently & ran a group buy for the B7 RS4 a few years back so they'll always do me a great deal. I'll drop you a PM when i hear back from them:)
