M6

Wow, I gotta say......a new M6 pulled in behind me today and suddenly I found myself traveling at 150.....with him right on my tail! Hmmmm, so I looked up the stats and discovered that they have 500 HP stock. Plenty of power it seems. A bit dissappointing, even tho I own a 5 series and it is my third BMW! Got HP?

A M6 will own a stock turbo from 60 on up.

With an X-50 you should be about even on the top end which it seems you were, he may still start to pull at about 120 or so. M6's are highway beasts.

I agree.
Flash and a set of Europipes will put that overweight M6 in your rearview.
The car has nice lines.

That's it, I'm getting an exhaust! Putting my diverters and F-hose on today. I love Beemers, but not when they are riding my rear!

Don't forget upgraded wastegate actuators on an X50 car with a flash.

The M6 is no joke. It's right there with a stock 997TT from a roll.

It's a legitimate contender....
I drove a 02 E39 M5 for two years before moving into my first P-car.
BMW M's are close cousins to our Bavarian heritage.

Both cars were designed with the autobahn in mind but on the other hand, we still own the corners...and the track.
