And I would be sceptical of Hamann's claims. They also offer a 600+ motor kit which includes Full exuhuast and ECU upgrade.

100 more hp from a full exhuast and ECU upgrade........humm..

Maybe on a turbo car but on a N/A....I'll believe it when I see it.

But all in all the car is a beast, awsome power, sound, handling..they really are a blast to drive!
Most of the M5's over here dyno higher then the claimed 500.
