Thank you too zayed. I have no idea how big I was able to open the TB and intake. But I did use the stock parts. The intake got a lot of porting for sure. Not just the opening, but many other areas as well. Car breathes like never before.

if you're cracking open the throttle body, you could look into intake velocity stacks.
user "speedybenz" had a 55 swapped C43 and he somehow custom fabricated velocity stacks inside the throttle body, and he said it made the biggest improvement over all the mods he had (and he had done them all).
according to him, his car was beating M156 C63 AMG's in the quarter mile, no supercharger required!

But I believe speedybenz added these to the intake manifold. Can't see any velocity stacks fitting in the small throttle body. I could be wrong though....

Individual throttle bodies (stacks) can probably be made. That would be interesting. You could take this kit for a V12 Zonda 
and cut off two throttles to adapt for the V8... 
Just kidding, but I imagine if you have deep pockets the sky is the limit

I don't think we can go over (380hp) with N/A M113 5.4l..!,,
i heard many guys reached (395hp), don't know how..!?!,,
with my previous "C43/55", i reached (375hp) with MAX overload performance parts..?!?!?!?!

Can one of you guys make sense of what speedybenz wrote long ago? I found a thread he started which he added the velocity stacks to the inside of the intake manifold. Sad that the pics expired, would love to have seen it. But below he said this and I would like to do this to my second intake mod.
Here's what he wrote:
"I found through trial and error and back to back testing that disabling the two stage runners and removing the bottom, long section of the manifold runners opened up the plenum area greatly and seemed to almost eliminate most of the lost low end torque."

BMW & Mercedes are typically as reliable as the warranties on them. Be prepared for the same types of maintenance as any Euro from the 90's will have issues. Even one that's been lovingly maintained.

I know you know your stuff man but thats some major mods. If you are not doing 400 at the crank with those something is wrong :/
Even with 5hp per mod thats still like 30 extra hp but im sure some of those will give you extra
