Save yourself 40k get downpipes and a stage 2 bootmod3 tune. M550i guys are running in the low 11's!
You guys do realize speed isn't everything right and doesn't define an M car, or a good car in general.

A corolla could go 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and be exciting in a straight line, but it will still not handle the corners well.
You guys do realize (or maybe not smh) that that the MP cars M340i, M550i's X3 M40i have a locking differential, upgraded suspension and sways, M Performance big calipers etc. you're making it seem like these cars aren't made to handle smh.

Also we're not taking about speed here but "time". A stock M550i runs Laguna Seca in 1:45 an F90 M5 in 1:39, go figure.
A 6 second gap at laguna is pretty significant dude. Is it slow, no it's not slow. It's not shit. It's good. But it's 6 seconds slower. You have proved the point. To take a M550 and make it 6 seconds faster at Laguna is going to take a lot of cash. I would wager the same amount as f cash overall to just get an M5. Think about it. You need power, handling, cooling weight savings and tuning. Sounds like the difference in price to me between the non M and the real M.
