Heard today that Dinan might offer the same charger on the Alpina B7 for 645s... Would require major work, but could really boost the performance of the car. I was on GA400 today, and needed to get in front of some people - barely touched the gas and was going about 120 when I looked down. I'm not much of a top speed guy - there's little point where I live, but it made me think... Do I really need/want a car that can do 0-60 in the high 3s? Can't believe I just typed that, but let me know what you think!

A polite Mercedes-Benz salesman once said to me when I was enquiring about the stooopidly fast SL65 AMG: "Sir, I see. You are interested in a car with the potential to unleash power without actually the need to do so".

Who else wants a little more power, 'Just Because'? :race:
Gentlemen, it's always assuring to know we have very big engines under our hoods ... :tongue: How can one not be a man and not want that assurance?

If you need something faster get an M6 :flamethrow: seems like a waste of money to me, BMW already has the perfect solution available..

Oh yes! I agree too! More power the better, commensurate with great handling.

Maybe... I'd say go for the M6. Your resell on something so modified may result in a very low ROI... Unless you you have some tweener looking to show his friends something... :mrgreen:
