Actually it is tuned. Quote: Originally Posted by Benzin Russ, That is really cool. Pretty amazing that something with 500 horsepower(I assume your rig is close to stock?) can run an honest 200+ mph!!

I have a better idea, the next time you are in Bahrain, I will take you to Dyno the car just so you are convinced!

Yep theres a group buy on the cards in another thread for the titanium Akrapovic system which will be new for the M5! And sounds gorgeous... I have had RPI's system, I love the V clamps they use, quick and easy install and no leaks plus it makes it very easy to uninstall later if required!! Top quality exhaust But not to take anything away from ASR there system obviously does the buisness and I trust Juan (Rangers) inputs and choices...

Mubarak did you dyno your M6 to confirm and prove this supposed "45 hp" gain? The guy from this shop can tell you anything. Because he says so doesn't mean it's real. If this were true he'll become very popular. Need stock vs. tuned (and no other mod) dyno proof. Also on the runs, I didn't know the M5 came with chrome trim around the windows? Ranger

Got mine from CA Automotive and they fit perfectly and quite easy to install. Had them 3 months now and they have faded quite a bit. They come back with some polish/dashboard shine. I'm going for CF ones now so to avoid the fade.

nice placement of the laser jammer led's. did you get the new blinders that you update through the internet?

It's becoming annoying for others, I am sure. Apologies for it getting a bit out off hand. Perhaps a moderator can clean this up for the thread owner. You may even delete all this, as Roy and I will now discuss this outside the board. Thanks.

A lower gear multiplies more torque to the wheels than a higher gear. So you accelerate better & cover more ground being in the lower gear....
