I just raced a brand new M4 and being behind him by 2 cars and hitting the gas when I heard him hit it at 45mph by 70 I was next to him putting pace and by 100 I had 4 cars. So if you include him getting jump being 2 cars ahead and the distance I put on him by 100 I'd say M550 with the modest tune I have does pretty well. I wanted to put my rear window down as I was passing him to show him the baby seat i have anchored in the car  |
Thanks for the response. This is comparing a tuned M550 vs stock M5?
How does the tuned M550 feel in comparison to the M5 w tune and DP?
Either way sounds like this is the route I am going.
Torn between this and the M340, these new B58s seem to reliably hold quite a bit of power. |
Yes tuned 2019 M550 and my F10 M5 with exhaust.
M550 with tune feels heavier. 60-100 I feel like it would be neck and neck, I can't say if I would have 2 cars ahead or behind.
0-60 or 0-100 M550 with tune would kill my M5 with exhaust period due to traction all day. It's why I love racing NOT the new vettes. Anything 2 wheel drive from a dig on non prepped track and doesn't have slicks cant compete with all wheel drive. So it's a conundrum.
The feeling of the cars are just so different from a full blown M 5 to as we say a half of an M being M550. Tune for sure wakes the car up. The new 3 series isn't a joke either for the money and can be tuned with great results.
I will tune any BMW I get due to the increases. I say this now as I haven't blown a motor
