Trade it for a 2011 X5 5.0?

I don't think that will be possible. I have been looking to get out of my 2008 4.8 and into a new 35d.

22K will barely get me into a less equipped 35d. Moving into a X5M would definitely cost more.

Dang car depreication. LOL

Dinan? i know a full job is far to much but maybe they have a few smaller parts to add 40 hp , their stage3 kit for my e53 was close to 25k. ( retarded )

4-5 months to save $22k? Are they hiring where you work? :D

In my opinion, that's an OBSCENE amount for a measly 95 hp!

What do these tuners use to tune these systems?

Go on to "vortechs" website and see if they do a supercharger for yours! There ones are no where near 22000! For e53's there not anyway!

Your better off going to get your m5 back! Ha

I had a Vortech on my C5 and they can make some SERIOUS power as long as the person installing it knows how to tune!

I know Vette Guys (with LS1/LS6 STOCK block, non forged motors ) that have put down 700 to the wheels! :yikes:

This was done using meth injection and a SPOT ON tune! I have no idea as to what these motors are capable of because I've never seen one really pushed (too costly and lack of affordable aftermarket parts).

I'd be curious to see how things worked out if you put a Vortech V3 S-trim on or a Paxton Novi 1500/2000 on.

Please keep us posted! :beerchug:

Interesting sidebar conversations, but neither Dinan or Vortech do anything for the E70. Go back and read posts #2 & #4. There is an option out there, and now you can see why it is a ridiculous price.

Yup, I had a vortech on my golf vr6 years ago, it was very reliable and the power was unbelievable for what car it was!
